    Subject: DAV:author
    
    Section 3.2.1
    -------------
    
    > This property is used to track the author of a resource. Each revision
    > of a versioned resource can have a different DAV:author values,
    > indicating who authored that revision.
    
    This sounds as if DAV:author is a revision property, but not a
    versioned resource property or working resource property.  Then this
    section should be moved to section 3.4.  Or is the property DAV:author
    available on revisions, versioned resources and working resources?
    Then, this should be clearly stated, e.g. by providing a definition of
    "resource property" in the introduction of section 3.2, for example:
    "For the purpose of this protocol, a resource property is defined to
    be a property as specified in [RFC2518] that is available on versioned
    resources, revisions and working resources."

    I agree there should be some description in Section 3.2 what I explicitly 
    states these properties are appropriate to all resources.
