You're right about there not being any grey area here. The server SHOULD return a 200 or 204 only if the resource has been modified as a result of the PUT operation. There is no requirement that the modified resource be semantically identical to that included in the PUT request.
Of course there is, because that's what PUT mean. It doesn't mean "do whatever you want" (that's POST), nor does it mean "store only the stuff you understand". It means store. I'm not sure how to explain it any more simply than that. Mark.
