Other specs, like ACL, are based on the principle that properties belong
to resources. If you change fundamental assumption in 2518bis, you
risk breaking specs based on those assumptions.

If you introduce WebDAV properties on something other than a resource,
the WebDAV security model will no longer cover it.

If you vary properties by access URI, things like DeltaV might stop
working, since the state of a resource is not supposed to vary by URI.

etc,etc.

So, you need a *very* good reason to break architectural principles
and I remain so far unconvinced that properties on URIs are worth it.
