Http needs a status code for grudging acceptance. We have 202 Accepted. We need 222 Tolerated.

For when the client is doing it wrong, but you've decided to be the bigger person and deal with it anyway.

@jenniferplusplus I think we need some kind of status sub-codes:

HTTP 202 Accepted.
HTTP 202a Reluctantly Accepted.
HTTP 202b Okay, but could you please not.
HTTP 202c Got ya, now staahp plz.
HTTP 202d It's not funny anymore!

@mblaschke @frederic @jenniferplusplus I bet _loads_ of clients handle those gracefully, and without exploding even a tiny bit.
