Re: Versioning implications for Referencing

I agree with the choice of a special request header.

I believe it is likely that the "PIN" method will be replaced with a
property update, so the request header that would make GETPROP and
PUTPROP refer to the reference itself rather than the reference target
is a preferable (in addition to being more general) solution than any
special handling of a "PIN" method.

Cheers,

   My preference would be for the latter:  by default,
   any method on a direct reference would be passed through, 
   but some header on the request would make the method affect 
   the reference itself.  I think we would still say that DELETE, 
   MOVE, and COPY always affect the reference, never its target.
