Subject: Versioned Collections
9.4 Versioned Collections
para. 1
There seems to be an unwritten subtext here<g>. Disallowing
unversioned
resources in a versioned collection is primarily for an (important)
implementation optimization. Allowing any resource would break the
semantics of the versioning system per se. I would be happier if this
was
more explicit.
<geoff>
I added the statement that "this is restriction is required to allow
essential implementation optimizations". Probably don't want to spend
too much space in the protocol on this issue though. Folks that are
implementing them will appreciate the restriction, and folks that aren't
probably don't care (:-).
</geoff>
I agree -- and for the record, (if it wasn't obvious) I missed the key
word *not* out of the sentence:
Allowing any resource would _not_ break the
semantics of the versioning system per se.
