So in draft -21 it read:

"The server cannot or will not process the request, due to a client 
error (e.g., malformed syntax)." -- 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-21.html#rfc.section.7.5.1>

In draft -22 this was changed to

"The 400 (Bad Request) status code indicates that the server cannot or 
will not process the request because the received syntax is invalid, 
nonsensical, or exceeds some limitation on what the server is willing to 
process." -- 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-22.html#rfc.section.6.5.1>

I'll change that to

""The 400 (Bad Request) status code indicates that the server cannot or 
will not process the request, due to a client error (e.g., malformed 
syntax)."
