RE: DAV:checked-out property of a working-resource

The ambiguity comes in if the two post-conditions are read in isolation.  The fact that they define different semantics for the DAV:auto-update property led me to believe that they may also define different semantics for the other properties like DAV:checked-out.
 
So, in reality:

DAV:create-working-resource-from-checked-in-version (VCR URL, DAV:apply-to-version)
	working-resource <-- DAV:create-working-resource(VCR::DAV:checked-in)
	working-resource::DAV:auto-update <-- VCR URL

Probably some redundancy would have made it clearer.

	The semantics of CHECKOUT to create a working resource is defined 
	in section 9.3 "CHECKOUT Method (applied to a version)". 
	
	Postcondition DAV:create-working-resource-from-checked-in-version states: 
	      If the 
	      request-URL identified a version-controlled resource, and 
	      DAV:apply-to-version is specified in the request body, the 
	      CHECKOUT is applied to the DAV:checked-in version of the version- 
	      controlled resource, and not the version-controlled resource 
	      itself. 
	
	Postcondition DAV:create-working-resource states: 
	      The DAV:checked-out property of the new 
	      working resource MUST identify the version that was checked out. 
	
	So since the CHECKOUT is applied to the DAV:checked-in version and the 
	DAV:checked-out property identifies the version that was checked out, 
	then yes, the DAV:checked-out property of the new working resource 
	identifies the DAV:checked-in version. 
	
	Is there something in the spec that led you to believe otherwise? 
	
	Cheers, 
	Geoff
