Ben,
These are already known issues (the first is "MISSING_NS_SPEC" and the
second is "NS_BOOBOO") in the RFC2518 issues list
(http://www.webdav.org/wg/rfcdev/issues.htm).
All RFC2518 readers should (and, I suggest, all implementers 'must') read
the list of issues and their resolutions.
Regards,
Tim

Hi,
I think I've found a couple of typos in RFC 2518.
Specifically:
Page 24, Section 8.1.1, RFC 2518:
----
>>Response
HTTP/1.1 207 Multi-Status
Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"
Content-Length: xxxx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:">
<D:response>
<D:href>http://www.foo.bar/file</D:href>
<D:propstat>
<D:prop xmlns:R="
http://www.foo.bar/boxschema/">
<R:bigbox>
<R:BoxType>Box type A</R:BoxType>
</R:bigbox>
<R:author>
<R:Name>J.J. Johnson</R:Name>
</R:author>
</D:prop>
<D:status>HTTP/1.1 200
OK</D:status>
</D:propstat>
<D:propstat>
<D:prop><R:DingALing/><R:Random/></D:prop>
[snip]
----------
Here, this should read:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:">
<D:response xmlns:R="http://www.foo.bar/boxschema/
">
<D:href>http://www.foo.bar/file</D:href>
<D:propstat>
<D:prop>
<R:bigbox>
<R:BoxType>Box type A</R:BoxType>
</R:bigbox>
<R:author>
<R:Name>J.J. Johnson</R:Name>
</R:author>
</D:prop>
<D:status>HTTP/1.1 200
OK</D:status>
</D:propstat>
<D:propstat>
<D:prop><R:DingALing/><R:Random/></D:prop>
...
-----
as otherwise, the namespace definition of R: will be out of scope by
the time the <R:DingALing/> tag is encountered.
And, on page 91:
-------

23.4.2 Meaning of Qualified Names
[Note to the reader: This section does not appear in
[REC-XML-NAMES],
but is necessary to avoid ambiguity for WebDAV XML processors.]
WebDAV compliant XML processors MUST interpret a qualified name as
a
URI constructed by appending the LocalPart to the namespace name
URI.
Example
<del:glider xmlns:del="http://www.del.jensen.org/">
<del:glidername>
Johnny Updraft
</del:glidername>
<del:glideraccidents/>
</del:glider>
In this example, the qualified element name "del:glider" is
interpreted as the URL "http://www.del.jensen.org/glider".
<bar:glider xmlns:del="http://www.del.jensen.org/">
<bar:glidername>
Johnny Updraft
</bar:glidername>
<bar:glideraccidents/>
</bar:glider>
[snip]
----------------
In the second example, the line:
<bar:glider xmlns:del="http://www.del.jensen.org/">
should read:
<bar:glider xmlns:bar="http://www.del.jensen.org/">
as otherwise the XML namespace bar is undefined, and a namespace
validating parser will barf.
Can someone shed some light on these. Are they typos or have I
missed something?
