You've disguised a normative requirement as a clarification. Normative statements are marked with capitalized words (such as MUST), so this is not a normative statement. Without this "Note" on the end, my implementation would have done away with (deleted, gone, byebye) all the versions that are no longer associated with a version-controlled resource. Your implementation is allowed to delete anything it wants (but you may well encounter clients that are disappointed by this behavior). If it is a requirement that the versions already created MUST stay around, even when the version-controlled resource is replaced by a non-version-controlled resource, then this must be a MUST. I'd prefer to say that the versions that are no longer associated with a VCR MAY be gone. I'm happy to either delete this non-normative note, or to replace the "will continue to exist" with a "may continue to exist". Does anyone else care one way or the other? Cheers, Geoff
