Rationale

See: http://www.imc.org/atom-protocol/mail-archive/msg06349.html

Proposal

Change the following sections of Draft-09 to read:

5.2
 
 ...
 
 2. If the Member resource was created successfully, the server responds with a 
    status code of 201 and a Location: header that contains the URI of the Atom
    Entry Document representing the newly created resource.
    
5.3
 
 Once a resource has been created and the URI of its Atom Entry Document (its 
 "Member URI") is known, that URI can be used to retrieve, update, and delete 
 the resource.

    
8.1

 ...
 
 If an Atom entry was created in the collection which received the POST, the URI 
 of the entry MUST be returned in an HTTP Location header.
