Subject: Re: Questions on activities
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.
