       I think the MK* method could be submitted to the enclosing
      collection, and the semantics of the method would be to generate a
      new unique name, and in the response return the name that was
      selected.
    
    That's OK with me.  Anyone object?  I believe this applies only to
    activities, of which there is an ever increasing number.  I believe
    workspaces should have a client requested name, since old workspaces
    will be cleaned up periodically.

    I disagree. I don't think the server should be making up activity (or any
    resource) names. These belong to the user creating the activity or
    resource. WebDAV collections were introduced to provide a mechanism for
    managing namespaces. WebDAV versioning should use this mechanism and not
    introduce something else.
