I think you're straining at gnats here.  The language of the spec  
makes it entirely clear that the client is to reproduce content that  
it does not intend to change, no matter where it came from.  Should a  
dispute arise in practice about the result of some PUT transaction,  
it will be obvious whether the problem was due to client-sourced or  
server-sourced content.  2616 stands: PUT can change the state of the  
system.  That fact does not imply that the client is solely  
responsible, in the APP context, for all such changes in state.  -Tim
