Any information about how Open Library deals with PUT requests internally
would also be extremely helpful! For example:

* If the JSON object sent to Open Library includes a new value for an
existing key (adding more stuff to the "subjects" array, for instance),
will that value be updated in the expected way?

* If the JSON object includes an entirely new field (like Goodreads and
LibraryThing identifiers for a book that doesn't have them listed yet),
will the new field be appended to the end of the Open Library object?

* Will sending a JSON object that *only* includes new or changed fields do
something bad, like replace the original Open Library object with the new,
incomplete object?

* Would it be possible to see a sample cURL request that saves things
successfully to Open Library? There's a gap in the
docs<http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/restful_api#save>where this would
go.
