I wasn't suggesting that we change the semantics for MOVE (and I agree 
that
we cannot do so).  What we can do is define the semantics for 
DAV:resource-id,
since that is a new property that is being introduced by this spec.  So
what I was suggesting was that we state that a server cannot implement
DAV:resource-id in a way that it is modified during a MOVE operation. This
just means that a server cannot use some existing custom property to 
implement
DAV:resource-id if that custom property is not preserved during a MOVE.
