OK - just to put this one to bed, at least in regards to CalDAV - it is our 
(the authors') intention to remove this 'redirect on PUT' behaviour from 
the CalDAV draft. Instead, if a server has this type of behaviour, then it 
can use whatever generic http solution is finally settled on (ADDMEMBER, 
POST, PUT + status code etc).
