OK, I like that functionality, but it does mean that the following two
capability responses say different things about the core READER commands
(e.g. ARTICLE):
[S] -480 READER POST
[S] READER
[S] .
[S] -480 READER POST
[S] .
Is everyone happy with that? Is it sufficiently clear/obvious that the
-480 applies only to POST in the first example?
And what does this:
[S] -480 READER
[S] -483 READER
[S] .
mean? Is it one or the other, or is it both required to activate
READER?
