Greg & I find 2518 a little confusing on this issue: "Status Codes for use with 207 (Multi-Status) The following are examples of response codes one would expect to be used in a 207 (Multi-Status) response for this method. Note, however, that unless explicitly prohibited any 2/3/4/5xx series response code may be used in a 207 (Multi-Status) response. 200 (OK) - The command succeeded. As there can be a mixture of sets and removes in a body, a 201 (Created) seems inappropriate. " Why is 201 inappropriate inside a 207? Wouldn't it be potentially useful to a client to know when a property was created vs. modified? If there's some reason why 201 is inappropriate inside a 207 (which I can't see), then all properties mods will be reported with a 200 OK. Why not just use 200 OK for the overall message response, omitting the body? (remember PROPPATCH is atomic) If this just needs a mite of clarification, perhaps we can put it on the issues list for 2518. Lisa
