That's a fascinating idea... I have always had a violent dislike of the 6xx responses (as one of those means that the UA is speaking for the entire universe of UAs that might be receiving forks of the call). But if the request body violates the applicable standards, the UA could determine that no UA should accept the request. So it is sensible to give a 6xx response in this situation. But I think that using a 4xx would still be preferable, because the UA might be mistaken in its judgment about the request body, or the requester might intend the request for a UA that would accept the out- of-specification request body. What do you think?
