If a DELETE is issued to a collection, and it fails on all resources contained
by the collection, and on the collection itself, a server should report just a
single 4xx status code. But, instead the definition of DELETE indicates it
should return a multistatus since an error occurred on a resource other than the
Request-URI. The language needs to be tweaked so a multistatus is not required
in this case.
