    I think we should leave this to the server implementors. If they want to
    advertise a set of revison-storageformats or any other such thing, they are
    free to do so. I don't see a great need to have interoperability at this
    level of implementation detail as it is unlikely that clients using more
    than one server will ever need to reconcile their potentially different
    stored data formats.

       Could you give it some more meaningful name like revision-storageformat?
       DAV:revision-resourcetype is too similar to DAV:resourcetype but is
    playing
       a much different role.
    
    I'm very mellow about what we call this property.
    
    For that matter, I'm pretty mellow about whether we put in the spec at
    all ...  all CM servers I know will have one, but heck, we can just
    each make up our own names for it (:-).
    
    I will note though that the appropriate storage format is closely
    tied (and sometimes identical) to the resourcetype.
    
    Cheers,
    Geoff
