Re: ldp-ISSUE-93 (AcceptLevels): Accept and Auth [Linked Data Platform Spec]

A1:  My belief is that the WG's intent was Must.  Basically the idea 
(albeit not well explained, to date, as evidenced by Sept TimBL comments) 
was that the client had a choice to introspect via OPTIONS/HEAD first, 
which might be useful for big messages, or simply GET and then use those 
headers.  We don't want to force a second round trip just to acquire 
headers like Accept-Patch.  4.3.2 seems poorly phrased; "support" is 
ambiguous.

A2: I would agree with you, but I'd expect we get that for free from base 
specs - it's hardly unique to LDP.  If we can identify such a spec, good 
candidate for section 8.
