It's "should have been". :-)

RFC3253 simply makes reference to RFC 2518, Section 12.9
for the definition of multistatus.

RFC2518bis (-06) still declare DAV:multistatus as follow:

   <!ELEMENT multistatus (response+, responsedescription?)  >

Do you want to open an issue for each document, and perhaps
clarify in the search draft (although RFC2518bis should end
up being published before search) ?

Thanks,
Bernard
