That's identical behavior to current single-file TWs. Anyone using
single-file TWs knows (or should know) how that works. Arlen, seriously, I
admire you trying to solve it, but the etag system is, at times, failing
you. Because the etag system is failing you, *your* system, TS, is
suffering as a result.

Nifty idea. But again, it's not needed, IMO. You're trying to fix an etag
issue, not a TS issue, per se.

Are you referring to my *bloody-minded* "A PUT request is an undeniable
request..." statement? Having thought about it more, I'd go even further
-- refusing to let me save, implies the server knows better than I do what
needs to be (and should be allowed to be) saved. That's a showstopper, for
me. :/
Anyway, I admire your diligence on this but hope you give me switch like...
{
...
"ts-options" : {
"enable-etag": false // default true
}
}
:)
