Replaced recommendation to use three ambiguous status codes with actual standard status codes as ambiguous status codes or categories can be obtained via the first # in the status code sequence (ie 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx) and prevents the client from understanding what action is actually taking place (was an item updated or created with a PUT, has the delete been performed, is the item missing or has it been removed, is it a malformed request or do I not have permission to do it, etc).
Knew I forgot something :-p - Added the 5XX back into the status codes - universal for "we have no idea what actually happened."
