'I don't mind if it is added' I do support your comment that additions like this only continue to add to the complexity of the protocol, however useful they may be. I think it is fair to say that a draft specification really needs to be nailed down soon and that additional features like DAV:checked-out-vcr be added in the next version of the specification.
