The protocol is currently schizophrenic in its approach to maintaining orderings. For some things it relies on direct manipulation of a DAV:ordering property. For others, it uses methods and headers. Since the value of the DAV:ordering property will be very long if the collection has many members, direct manipulation of this property is not a very scalable approach. It is not a good idea to have clients use PROPFIND / PROPPATCH on this property whenever they need to modify an ordering. I believe that there was consensus at Redmond to use methods for all modifications of an ordering. There will no longer be any mention of a DAV:ordering property in the protocol specification. This has the additional benefit of allowing servers to implement ordering any way they wish. --Judy Name: Judith A.
