13.2.1 intro #1021

Closed reschke closed 2 years ago

<!-- [rfced] Section 13.2.1.  We are having difficulty parsing the
     following. Would reordering improve readability?

Current:
   A server MUST ignore all received preconditions if its response to
   the same request without those conditions, prior to processing the 
   request content, would have been a status code other than a 2xx 
   (Successful) or 412 (Precondition Failed).  

Perhaps:
   If a server would have responded to the same request lacking
   those conditions with a status code other than a 2xx (Successful) 
   or 412 (Precondition Failed) prior to processing the request content, 
   then the server MUST ignore all received preconditions.

No.

I think it would be better to take their suggestion, but don't feel strongly.

Agreeing with @royfielding - if it ain't broke...
