if anything does come back, it should be the atom entry as it would

This is helpful in implementations (such as ours) in which server is
annotating the entry with various extensions or attributes that the
client doesn't provide; it is a useful optimization over having the
client issue another request to the URL in the response's Location
header to retrieved the annotated entry.
+1. We see similar usability benefits in echoing back the entry on
POST as opposed to making the client retrieve it immediately. I'd be
-1 on any proposal that explicitly prohibited this.
OK, looks to me like if someone writes a Pace to make this change, it
probably will sail right through. Who's volunteering? -Tim
I've put it up as "PaceEntryInPostPutResponse". Be gentle -- it's my
first Pace.
