    Well, I was going to allow it on a working resource, so that you
    could store it in a version, and then use it to initialize the
    DAV:auto-version property of a new version selector that initially
    selects that version.
    
    I'll admit that this is a pretty obscure case, but since it is 
    simpler to just allow it on a working resource, it seemed reasonable
    to do so, rather than requiring that a working resource not have
    a DAV:auto-version property.
    
    Cheers,
    Geoff

    Good point. But then section 5.4 should be changed; in its current form it 
    says that a working resource has all the properties of a checked out 
    version selector (which would include DAV:auto-version).
