      Actions that create and return a single entity follow the rules for entity creation - must return a location header, should return 201 created unless the return-minimal preference has been specified, in which case the service may return 204 and no content, but still include the location header.

      Section "11.5.4.1 Invoking an Action" specifies that actions creating entities respond with 201 Created. Nothing is mentioned about the location header.

      For consistency with section "11.4.2 Create an Entity" actions that create and return a single entity MUST also send a Location header to allow referencing the newly created entity with a content-id within batch requests.

      Section "11.7.3.1 Referencing New Entities in a Change Set" has to be reformulated to also cover new entities created by actions.
