   This is a personal request, but one might be useful to the lurkers who are
   not in the active design team.

As far as I'm concerned, anybody that sends in email is part of the
active design team (so that puts you on the team, Sankar :-).

   When are you going to produce the next
   version of the rfc document.

All of the working documents are in </http://dav.ics.uci.edu/vdt>.

If, like me, you can never remember that URL, there are links to it
from the deltav page at <http://www.webdav.org/deltav>.

The most recent internet draft (02) is also in the standard IETF
draft directory.  It is also in the deltav directory at
<http://www.webdav.org/deltav/protocol/draft-ietf-webdav-versioning-02.txt>.

The most recent working document is (02.2), and
it primarily has details like XML DTD elements defined.
<http://dav.ics.uci.edu/vdt/draft-ietf-webdav-versioning-02.2.doc>

There will be a new internet draft (03) prepared for the IETF
meeting in Washington in November.  It will just have some more
details on return codes for the versioning methods and some
examples of the methods.  It will also have any work that occurs
on the mailing list between now and the Washington draft submission
deadline (Oct 22).

So in general, there haven't been any significant changes since
the 02 draft, so if you've read that, you are up to speed.

Cheers,
Geoff
