OK; new proposed text; based on Jason's text and proposal:

15.2.  displayname Property

    Name:   displayname

    Purpose:   Provides a name for the resource that is suitable for
       presentation to a user.

    Value:   Any text.

    Protected:   SHOULD NOT be protected.  Note that servers implementing
       [RFC2518] might have made this a protected property as this is a
       new requirement.

    COPY/MOVE behaviour:   This property value SHOULD be preserved in
       COPY and MOVE operations.

    Description:   The property contains a description of the resource
       that is suitable for presentation to a user.  This property is
       defined on the resource, and hence SHOULD have the same value
       independent of the Request-URI used to retrieve it (thus computing
       this property based on the Request-URI is deprecated).

       While generic clients will be able to use the value of the DAV:
       displayname property for display to end users, client UI designers
       must understand that the method for identifying resources is still
       the URL.  In particular, there is no guarantee whatsoever that the
       values of this property are unique for each member of a
       collection.  Also note that changes to DAV:displayname do not
       issue moves or copies to the server, but simply change a piece of
       meta-data on the individual resource.
