    Subject: nested DAV:rsr-or and DAV:rsr-merge
    
    
    In a fit of excess generality, I originally proposed that the these
    RSR elements be allowed to nest.  Since nested DAV:rsr-or's are
    identical to a flattened single DAV:rsr-or (and similarly for
    DAV:rsr-merge), the only point for this is to allow intermingled
    DAV:rsr-or and DAV:rsr-merge.  Since I expect few (if any) servers
    will implement intermingled DAV:rsr-or's and DAV:rsr-merge's in our
    lifetime, it seems more sensible to leave this as a possible future
    extension.
    
    So I propose that DAV:rsr-or and DAV:rsr-merge no longer be specified
    as nesting in the current protocol.
    
    Comments?
