Subject: History propery: multiple hrefs violate DAV spec

The defaulthistory report (and perhaps others) produces a PROPFIND result
that is in violation of the WebDAV spec. RFC 2518 12.9.1 says

A particular href MUST NOT appear more than once as the child of a response
XML element under a multistatus XML element.

But in the defaulthistory report,  the href appears once for each revisionid

I've only just joined the deltaV list, sorry if this has already come up.
