<http://tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/69> Is the text below the solution for i69? Is it necessary to refer to PROPFIND (Personally, I'd like to avoid the informative ref if we can)? What about changing the name? The proposal seems to change the concept substantially, and it's currently stuck in my head as a thing-on-the- wire, not a thing-on-the-server. Perhaps "variant resource"? On 07/08/2007, at 8:52 AM, Roy T.
