Maybe the client is throwing away the info and reloading the data anyway? ;-)

To update the intern data representation. If uploading a new node, the offline 
client has to GET this note after every PUT to update its data. With my 
suggestion, this GET is implicit ;)

Hopeful.. yes. But that's not the point, isn't it? A difference is a 
difference.


Ciao, Imi.
