Subject: RE: WeDAV Versioning Summary
"latest" isn't a revision label, its a special revision selector that can be
placed in the revision selection rule. (The old versioning summary was wrong).
We have tried to keep revision selection simple, and based only on versioning
information. By keeping it simple, it will be easier to use, and more efficient
to implement. We anticipate that DASL queries can be layerd on top of workspace
revision selection rules to do additional resource selection, but don't want to
couple them completely.

Subject: RE: WeDAV Versioning Summary
First off I would like to thank JimA for putting together the summary. It
really helped! I have decided to cut my responses into different letters in
order to encourage discussion.
It is stated that there always exists a revision label called "latest" and
that latest always points to the most recently modified revision. This
sounds like a canned query. Why don't we just drop this label and use DASL?
Alternatively (since asking for full DASL support might be a bit much) why
don't we figure out how to express this as a canned DASL query which would
allow us to issue a SEARCH request instead of hacking a search request into
the WebDAV property system?
