No, that's not what I mean. I don't mean at all that the property passes through to the versions. I mean that it is a property that is not semantically sensible if you look at it on an individual version. E.g. "Editor-in-Chief", is a property which is likely to mean "The person who is editor-in-chief of this entire document, including all its past versions". I've called this a "global" property in another email. > You can use the DAV:expand-property report if you want to obtain > all this information in one request. No, that's impossible for clients that are not versioning-aware. lisa
