they look more like Frontpage stuff. I get lots of 404 on my (UNIX hosted) sites from
IE users with Frontpage installed:

I guess these requests are somehow related to a document save operation, but I
would appreciate if somebody could come up with a better explanation, expecially
about the 'POST' in the last log entry
