Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:2 miqrogroove]:
 > Code 400 signifies a malformed HTTP header that the server cannot
 process.  I would never use this for form validation except where the
 payload is missing or cannot be parsed at all.

 Then why does the WordPress REST API use the 400 response code for invalid
 comment requests?
