I agree with Tim's point about the negative result of having a feature called "checkout" when the CHECKOUT method actually appears in two features (the "checkout" feature and the "working resource" feature"). A more "accurate" name for the "checkout" feature would be "in-place-version-controlled-resource-checkout". I'm really not very fond of this extended name (:-) ... anyone have a better solution? One alternative that comes to mind is to fold the "checkout" option into the "workspace" option, but as I recall, there are folks that wanted to support the "in-place checkout" but did not want to support workspaces. Just to check, is there anyone out there that will be supporting "in-place checkout" but not workspaces? Alternatively, if anyone can come up with a better name for the "in-place-version-controlled-resource-checkout" feature, that would be appreciated!

Yes. It would be preferrable if the features had names that did not collide with method names since that triped me up, and I can imagine it being a source of confusion in the future -- e.g. "when you say your server implements checkout, do you mean the 'checkout' feature or the 'CHECKOUT' method?", the feature being a subset of the method. wrt packages of features, I'm quite indifferent to the idea.
