Hi Tiru, 

Please see inline.

[Med] I hesitated to add this one. What is the purpose of returning the acl-* in the response given that 2.01/2.04 are explicit that the type was successfully updated. Receiving a response such as the one in Figure 10 of the signal channel is straightforward.

[Med] This one needs more discussion, IMO. I suggest to leave this one open for future revisions.
