it would be nice if you could provide a list of the various APP server implementations and clients
such that one can dig in there (in case the code is available) and see how you or anyone else did it.

Otherwise I am afraid it sounds just like Fermat's "last words":

I am astonished at the lack of concern here for the key element of what I'm saying:

I have a fully RFC-compliant Atom deployment. It only breaks when I attempt to implement _your_ spec. With _my_ spec it works beautifully and is still a fully RFC-compliant Atom deployment, with PUT.

Doesn't working code count for anything? Not that I can back that up publicly just yet, but how about some benefit of the doubt?
