Research direction

Read the existing PUT/PATCH requirement and its cited Solid specification issue comment first. Then determine whether POST-created container representations may carry containment triples; done requires an agreed normative requirement for that case to be recorded in the specification.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently following requirement is the only one that restricts user supplied containment triples.

Servers MUST NOT allow HTTP PUT or PATCH on a container to update its containment triples; if the server receives such a request, it MUST respond with a 409 status code. [Source]

But that allows including containment triples in representation of to be created container, when container is created through POST on parent container.

It may not be the intention.
