I don't see anything in the definition of PUT or of the Etag > header that would prevent Etag being returned by PUT. That's not the issue here. The question here is whether an ETag returned upon PUT is for the entity the client sent (1), or for the entity the server would send upon a subsequent GET (2). There are cases where both will not be the same, so this needs to be clarified. In case of (2), a client will need a subsequent GET if it's planning to use the ETag for subsequent GET/Range requests.
