From: Albert-Lunde@northwestern.edu (Albert Lunde) (by way of "Ralph R. Swick" <swick@w3.org>) Note that the HTTP/1.1 spec defines and uses "variant", e.g.: variant: A resource may have one, or more than one, representation(s) associated with it at any given instant. Each of these representations is termed a `varriant'. Use of the term `variant' does not necessarily imply that the resource is subject to content negotiation. Since WEBDAV is layered on HTTP, you might want distingush the two explicitly. One of the reasons I decided to try the term "variant" here was that it was consistent with the standard HTTP definition. Was there a particular inconsistency that you felt was worth pointing out? Cheers, Geoff
