Let me suggest the following language. I think we all agree this is a minimum level statement on the issue -- where we differ is in how to go beyond this level (Julian wants to change the SHOULD to a MUST , while I'd like to add an additional MAY). Proposed language: Note that, consistent with [RFC2518], the value of a dead property is independent of the number of bindings to its host resource or of the path submitted to PROPFIND. Similarly consistent with [RFC2518], the value of a live property SHOULD be independent of the number of bindings to its host resource, and of the path submitted to PROPFIND. The reason for the two almost-identical sentences is to address Julian's desire to not include spec. language that's obvious from a careful reading of 2518. I personally prefer the following, more compact construction: Consistent with [RFC2518] the value of a dead property MUST be, and the value of a live property SHOULD be, independent of the number of bindings to its host resource or of the path submitted to PROPFIND. - JimReceived on Monday, 13 December 2004 20:44:10 GMT
