RE: WebDAV Invalidation (Was Re: Allow: header and supported methods)

I think thats a good idea to have a BOF.
What Id like to see most importantly is a
focused, and narrow scope.  In my mind,
this is a mechanism for subscribing to
and receiving specific change events on
web resources, within the existing web
infrastructure that integrates with DAV.
