Re: LDPR Interaction Model on Create

Progress, then - this is the point of divergence.

I believe that ordinarily this will be the case, but I also believe LDP 
provides no guarantees because LDP does not prohibit the creation of 
non-LDPRs (via Post, or otherwise), having just re-skimmed 5.2.*  ... this 
is a consequence of allowing LDP support to be added to existing HTTP 1.1 
server implementations.

A trivial counter-example is where a server creates a resource 
successfully but chooses not to give it an etag (or no Head support, 
or...).  The same server is capable of creating LDPRs in other cases, but 
for reasons known only to the implementers (backward compatibility with 
existing clients?) in this case some of its resources are not LDPRs.  I 
cannot think of any LDP violation this causes, even when the creation is 
accomplished using an LDPC interaction model (i.e. the client's creation 
request is a POST and its request-URI identifies an LDPC).
