Subject: DAV:compare-report
14.4 DAV:compare-report
Again, I would assume that the compare reports differences in terms of
the
containers that were merged, rather than the individual revisions that
are
selected by the entire workspace. The alternative is a very expensive
transitive walk of the entire namespace.

A server can decide how to structure the response, i.e. in terms of
revisions, baselines, or even activities. At some point we could define
specific flavors of the DAV:compare-report, but we can probably hold off
on that for now.

It would be good to point that out in the doc (i.e. that the report is
agnostic towards 'elements'). I agree that we need not specify sytles of
report, but I was left with the impression that it would be down to the
terminals (esp. based on protocol 04.4 section 12.4 sentence two).
