    Great!  I thought that had been voted down.

    It's a Lotus Notes "thing" -- I don't know, but I'll ask.

    DAV:private is the new checkin policy (requested by you, Tim :-)
    that says not to make the revision being checked in the default
    revision for that versioned resource.
    
    On a minor note, Tim and JimA, is there any way for you to get
    your mail client to not try to create an "ascii art" from/to section
    in your responses?
    
    Cheers,
    Geoff

    Upon further reflection, I will place my vote on keeping UNCHECKOUT.
    I believe the semantics of CHECKIN should be:
     "remember the current state in the history of this resource"
    DAV:overwrite and DAV:keep-checked-out and DAV:private all satisfy
    this semantics, but "uncheckout" would not.
    
    Cheers,
    Geoff

       It sounds logical to have a UNCHECKOUT to abort the actions of a
    checkout.
       OTOH we shouldn't inflate the number of our methods.
       I also would be content if there would be something like:
       CHECKOUT policy abort (without caring about XML syntax)
       But this shouldn't be a checkin-policy.
                                      ^^^^^^^ :-)
       Cheers, Edgar
