I vote, require that all attributes be kept for dead properties, and that the behavior for live properties be defined in the specification that defines that live property. My rationale is that dead properties pretty much have to be stored as a string, since the server doesn't know how the user might want to use them, while for live properties, there often will be "value preserving" transformations the server can apply, since the server knows what the semantics of that property are.

As fate would have it, the first issue on the list is one that has been contentious in the past. Can we come to consensus on it now? Issue: PROP_ATTR Description: What is a WebDAV server required to do with XML attributes other than xml:lang submitted with a PROPPATCH? This affects how well WebDAV will be able to support RDF, since RDF uses attributes extensively.
