[SAH] No. The point I'm trying to make is that if a client sends a valid request to an RDAP server, and that request can't be processed because the requested functionality isn't supported, then a 501 response is appropriate. Precisely. Let's take an example. Say, a client sends a "nameservers/reverse_search/entity?..." query but the server has not implemented the "nameservers?..." search path segment (section 3.2.2 from RFC 9082) to start with. Then, a 501 (Not Implemented) is a more appropriate response for this reverse search query; 400 (Bad Request) won't work here because that client query is well-formed to begin with. Right?
