Ted,

I was only mentioning that in 2001 (not 2002 as I realized) we found 
that the bare string "DAV:" isn't a legal URI according to RFC2396. This 
was discussed with Roy Fielding, and as a consequence RFC2396bis changes 
this.

Anyway, this is really not relevant for BIND. BIND doesn't define any 
new namespaces in the "DAV:" scheme, it just puts more elements into the 
  XML namespace named "DAV:", which is already defined in RFC2518. Thus 
there's IMHO nothing that needs to change in BIND.

Best regards, Julian
