Only if you allow transmutation of types, e.g. version 1 of this resource
was a "quote" and version 2 is a "purchase order", or some such. In
general, I think allowing transmutation is a bad idea, so we shouldn't have
a revision-resourcetype different than resourcetype, ever.
I agree with Eric. My response was different from his because I
read Tim's question as:
"In what instances would you expect the DAV:resourcetype of a resource
to be different from the DAV:revision-resourcetype of that resource."
which I'd answer "always", while Eric read Tim's question as:
"In what instances would you expect the DAV:resourcetype of a revision
to be different from the DAV:revision-resourcetype of its versioned resource."
which (like Eric) I'd answer "never".
Cheers,
Geoff
