    If a Revision-Selector header is specified, the specified
    revision is the target.  If a Workspace header is specified,
    the specified working resource is the target.  If neither
    header is specified, the DAV:default-revision of the versioned
    resource is the target.
    </geoff>
    
    If the DAV:default-revision is only allowed to be a revision identifier then 
    I think this is too brittle to be generally useful (down-level clients are 
    unable to refine based on the Revision-Selector).  However, if you allowed a 
    label or a revision identifier then I can see that this is a helpful 
    simplification of basic versioning since I believe that labels will be used 
    extensively at that level.
