Though it doesn't really need 0.6 to work, it just needs this bug fixing
(Dave, I think this is your code so you might be able to explain better?):

# BUG: the following is commented out because it always fails on my
# install. I think it's a Rails bug.
# if !rel.preconditions_ok?
#    return -2, "Relation preconditions failed"

No, but OTOH we'd have one that worked better. ;)

More seriously, there is a school of thought that POST adds, PUT replaces.
So in this case you'd just have a POST request to add an item to a relation.
(Wikipedia confirms, FWIW.) We don't currently use POST for anything other
than uploading GPXs AFAIK.

cheers
