That was at least the intent. In particular, even *if* a server supports
versioning, there may be resources in scope that are not version-controlled.
A server that doesn't support DeltaV would just behave the same way as a
DeltaV-aware server where all resources in scope happen not to be
version-controlled.

Could you rephrase that? I'm not sure I understand....
