I'm looking for a way to turn this conversation into spec text. I'm having trouble coming up with anything to say about what constitutes a successful PUT or POST. I guess I'll agree with Joe's approach--it's a success if the server says it is, no matter what's happened.

For
example, we support a subset of HTML (e.g. no script
blocks) but we don't error when users post blog
entries with 'banned' HTML elements instead we just
strip them.

Makes sense to me. Not much different than a mail server that strips suspicious attachments.
