Say we invoke PROPATCH so that it sets property1 and property2 on resourceX.
if both of these return an error, I believe we are allowed to return...
...
<HREF>resourceX</HREF>
<PROPSTAT>
<PROP>
<property1/><property2/>
</PROP>
<STATUS>HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict</STATUS>
</PROPSTAT>
...
but are we allowed to skip the PROP tag if all of the element have the same
result?...
...
<HREF>resourceX</HREF>
<PROPSTAT>
<STATUS>HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict</STATUS>
</PROPSTAT>
...
And are we allowed to skip the PROPSTAT altogether and just return a status for
the URI?...
...
<HREF>resourceX</HREF>
<STATUS>HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict</STATUS>
...
Or even return it in the response header?
Does this change if the response code is "200 OK" rather than 4XX?
If the spec doesn't already do so, it should provide a guideline here so that
clients know all the possibilities to expect and can code for them.
