Thanks for your additional input.

> _ Dynamic _rewrites:

unless this works already, there isn’t anything we’re going to change here

> _ Error handling: What happens if the targeted id/field is missing? 

missing doc will cause a normal `404`, missing fields is an interesting one that is unspecified as of now, thanks for pointing that out.

```
GET /doc/_/foo/nonexistent -> 404
GET /doc/_/foo/nonexistent/bar/baz -> 404
```

```
DELETE /doc/_/nonexistent -> 404 | alternatively: 200 and return the old rev to signify no change, but the result is achieved. // maybe one of this is the default and one of this is available via a `?option=true|false`
DELETE /doc/_/foo/nonexistent/bar/baz -> same as before
```

```
PUT /doc/_/nonexistent -> 200 -> creates new field
PUT /doc/_/nonexistent/bar -> 200 -> creates new field and new sub field // this is analogous to how we create attachments and docs in one go // we could add an option `?fail_if_no_exist=true` 
```
