That is why we have a WebDAV working group. Both the 300 and 406 response bodies were left unspecified because the intention was that they be specified by a group that actually had time to study the problem in detail and come up with a [hopefully] better solution than some off-the-cuff invention of mine. It was one of the WebDAV to-do items, last time I checked. ....Roy
