 Replying to [comment:5 cdaboo at apple.com]:
 > Section 12.1 defines how the 412 code should be used. Note that it says
 412 MUST NOT be returned when there are no conditional headers present.
 >
 > Section 16 talks about the precondition/postcondition behavior. Note
 that strictly speaking any valid 4xx status code could be used with those,
 its not just restricted to 403. But for all the CalDAV valid-xxx
 preconditions, 403 seems the most appropriate. In any case the rules for
 412 apply - 412 is only returned when evaluation of the condition request
 headers indicate an error.

 I saw the 403 when using conditional headers.
