what I see is that in the latter it says the POST body might be a non-entry resource, but in the former it says "if an entry was created". So ... if an image resource was POSTed, and an entry created for it in the entry, which URI gets returned ... the URI to the entry, or the URI to the image resource? The suggested replacement wording doesn't help me ... my understanding is that two resources would be created (the entry, the image), and the image resource is "in" the collection via the proxy of the entry ... so which URI would I get back? e.
