Whilst that tells you if you have a conflict, you still end up having to 
take a guess at another resource name to use to actually save the new data. 
Hopefully, the second guess will work.

The one benefit I have heard to the POST/ADDMEMBER approach is if the 
server has limitations on resource names. Typically those are servers that 
proxy their data to/from another, more rigid, system.
