Resource Containment

The representation and behaviour of containers in Solid corresponds to LDP Basic Container and MUST be supported by server. [Source]

The Last-Modified of a container will not change when other parts of the container changes. This is to avoid the instant propagation of changes all the way to the root container. As Last-Modified cannot be reliably used to check whether the container representation has changed in any way. In future versions of this specification, this design may be revisited.
