Wouldn't that depend on the processing model associated with the media type supplied with the representation? As an example, if the following representation is PUT to a server with the media-type "text/xml" <a b="c" d="e"/> this could be stored (and returned via GET) as <a b="c" d="e"/> since "text/xml" implies that whitespace between attributes is insignificant.
Right.
Could not the processing model of Atom be clearly specified to allow such things as atom:id overrides, in the full spirit of TAG Finding 12, "Authoritative Metadata", section 3.1 "Role of Internet Media Types"? http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/mime-respect-20060412
I don't think so. At least, I can't think of way to get around PUT semantics in that regard. Mark.
