Subject: Re: Labels
Revision ids belong to DAV, not revision labels. The labels belong to the
users to provide some more human meaningful way to identify a specific
revision. WebDAV versioning doesn't need any revision labels for its use,
only a revision id.
I think labels should be internationalized the same as URLs as they are
part of the identification of a specific resource.

* 3.4.5, DAV:labels. Any string that appears in the protocol that is
displayed to the user MUST be internationalized, or you violate IETF i18n
policy. Since this section states that revision labels are exposed to the
user, then the strings must be tagged with language, and charset.

I have always voted that labels are not (necessarily) user-level artifacts,
they are part of the mechanics of dav, and should be defined as a sequence
of octects (and not a String).
