I think we need to simplify revision selection, the interaction with
workspaces, and default selection. I have started writing up a proposal and
will try to finish it soon. I'll have lots of time on the plan to Adelaide
to do WebDAV stuff. Hope to see you all there! Note that I'm going to do
Working group work while I'm there. So if you don't want me to resolve all
the issues myself, you better show up! :-)

When is request is received that does not specify the Workspace: and/or
Revision-Selector:, the revision selection seems quite complicated.
Here's my interpretation (refs from 03.1 protocol doc):
(1) (a) For each versioned collection being resolved, first use the
collection's default workspace to pick a revision/working collection (ref.
10.1.1).
(b) If there is no default workspace specified for the collection,
choose the default revision (ref. 8.1).
(c) If there is no default revision specified use the 'server
determined default workspace' (ref. 9.1).
(d) If there is still no revision selected then the reference is not
found.
(2) For the final resource being resolved, first consider the
Revision-Selector in preference to anything else (ref. 7.2 & 3.3.3). If
there is no Revision-Selector then use the resolution strategy of step (1)
Section 3.3.3 says that the default-revision shoul donly be used if "no
Workspace: or Revision-Selector: header is specified" -- I don't see how
that fits in :-(
Sounds a bit complicated doesn't it?
Why do we want default workspaces for each collection, and default
revisions for each resource?
Comments.
