I might indeed get forced into supporting a VHR and telling clients that they have to do a PROPFIND (for VHR) and two DELETE's instead of just one. That sounds like the right thing to do. An extra PROPFIND and DELETE seems like a reasonable amount of overhead for deleting the entire version history of a resource. My other option would be to support the unofficial flag and let my clients make their own decision about the importance of compatibility. But a decision like that is above my pay grade. Adding in optimizations that make your clients work better with your servers is always a reasonable thing to do ... it does not harm interoperability, but does give customers a motivation to purchase your clients and servers (assuming you have picked a good set of optimizations and added features). In fact, I'd probably recommend we do both. Sounds right to me. Cheers, Geoff
