Re: LDPR Interaction Model on Create

I found part of this response acid-reflux-inducing.

I suspect

should be read to mean

> POST creation to LDPCs, yes. 

was that your intent?  i.e. POSTs interpreted as creates, when the 
request-URI is an existing LDPC, include the rel=type that supplies 
client's desired interaction model on the "to be created" resource.  Not 
to be confused with the "LDPC creating LDPC" on the 5.2.3.4 Note, which 
was my initial reading of your intent.

And the corresponding change for 

> POST creation of LDPRs, no. 

...?  Since LDP does not constrain POST on LDPRs other than LDPCs, nor 
does it mention creation requests sent to LDPRs other than LDPCs, sensible 
to have no rel=type.  Not to be confused with the alternative "when 
creating an LDPR, ..." interpretation, which would be easy to confuse it 
with as written.

As written, this sounded to me like you meant "when creating an LDPR by 
posting its representation to an existing LDPC, ..." but ow my head if 
that was your intent.
