Which (now that we're back within the realms of reality), brings me
back to the question as to how clients are to know this.

A client might attempt to increment an attribute of an entry
when it isn't safe to do so.

Should the server 'know' not to allow the operation ?
Or should the client discover somehow in advance if it
would be safe to do so ?
Or are the 'rules' expected to be enforced administratively somehow ?
