I think HOLD FOR UPDATE; we can address this in the current http-core work.

Cheers and thanks,

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7231,
"Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Semantics and Content".
--------------------------------------
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5541
--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Section: 4.3.5
Original Text
-------------
If a DELETE
request passes through a cache that has one or more stored responses
for the effective request URI, those stored responses will be
invalidated
Corrected Text
--------------
If a successful DELETE
request passes through a cache that has one or more stored responses
for the effective request URI, those stored responses will be
invalidated
Notes
-----
RFC 7234 4.4 describes the semantics of cache invalidation for successful requests (non-error status code), but does not describe semantics for unsuccessful requests. The corrected text parallels the construction in section 4.3.4 ("If a successful PUT request...").

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
