• Test #10 is too restrictive. If the server can apply more than one error (403 or 405) the server gets to pick which one to apply "first" and respond to the user.

• Probably all these failures need to be investigated
• Warning on #5 is a reasonable complaint. The 409 response would give clients specific information that clients can use to remedy the situation (create the nonexistent collection) and try again.

• Test #2 and 3: This failure may be minor depending on what the server did with the non-well-formed XML body. If it managed to make sense out of the body that might be OK. But if it treated the request as if there was no body, this would be a rather bad error.
• The lack of apparent support for PROPPATCH might be pretty bad for some applications though Chandler doesn't need it right now.
