    The current draft appears to assume that compliant clients are talking
    directly to compliant servers. However, some consideration may need to
    be given to its use through either HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0 proxies.
    
    For instance, several of the methods provide responses that are not
    supposed to be cached; i.e.
      "A CHECKOUT response MUST NOT be cached."
    
    It would probably be helpful to have examples that explicitly set
    the appropriate HTTP headers to make sure that responses aren't cached
    (i.e. by delta-V unaware proxies).
    
         >>REQUEST
          
           CHECKOUT /foo.html HTTP/1.1 
           Host: www.webdav.org
           Content-Length: 0
          
         >>RESPONSE
          
           HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
           Cache-Control: no-cache
           Pragma: no-cache    <--- maybe??

    I haven't been following this activity, so sorry if I've missed something
    obvious.
