delete individual files

DELETE is allowed for entire bags, what about individual tag files, data files, manifest files?

My first reaction: either no (for simplicity) or simply leave it up to
the server implementation, since you'd need the ability to do things
like update manifests as well. Simply returning a 403 for individual
deletes seems like a defensible policy for people who don't want to
allow it.

Mike - do you have any reactions to Chris's advice to leave the delete issue up to the server side?

I like he idea of allowing deletes, but also permitting a server to return a 403 if delete is not supported. On a related note, should we provide some type of service to ask if delete is allowed?
