Here are some questions that would help a new person (like me) out:
3.4.1 - The sentence "This property contains the revision URL for this
revision" is quite confusing. It sounds like it is just pointing back to
itself? Could this please be expanded. If it is some internal url, then
perhaps it needs a different name, because in other parts of the draft
(e.g. 3.3.1) you talk about the "revision URL" and so then it not clear
what you mean (do you mean this property or this element?)
3.5.1 - Why is there the indirection for the checked-out property. Why not
just <!ELEMENT checked-out (href)> ?
5.3 - The whole topic of selection is confusing. What if you don't specify
a target selector, what do you get? Which of the other operations update
the default target? (checkin? checkout?). And if you say the default is
the "latest", then what percisely do you mean by the latest? the revision
with the highest timestamp?
6.2 - It would be useful to add a sentence that explains that check out
doesn't actually return the contents/body of the checked out thing (because
most other source control systems do return the body on checkout).
