Which is exactly what the WebDAV base spec describes for 
pre-/post-conditions, hence the fact that no other WebDAV extension 
documents explicitly list a status code. Plus the distinction between some 
codes is not always clear - we could argue for a long time over whether 403 
or 409 should be returned for an invalid sync token.
