Subject: Re: Versioned & unversioned resource

That is correct.  You can't go from a versioned resource to an
unversioned resource without losing data (i.e. all the history).

You can of course COPY a revision of a versioned resource into
an unversioned collection, and thereby create an unversioned
resource.

Cheers,
Geoff

   It looks like the current spec allows an unversioned resource to become =
   versioned, but not the reverse.  Is that correct?

   Thanks,
