My reading of 501 has always been as Mark describes. But even if you want to argue semantics of the definition the point stands the in this case 501 is a more meaningful error to receive than a generic 400. There are myriad other reasons a 400 could be returned and then a consumer of the API has to deal with parsing messages and other nonsense. A 501 has only one reason it would be returned by that API and is therefore much more useful to consumers. I would hope that's reason enough to make the decision.
