Properties associate values to keys for a given resource. Let us take DAV:workspace-collection-set. Especially when you say that the http namespace can be spread over several servers, the question I ask with this tag is not do you support workspaces, rather for a given versionable workspace, where can I create a workspace for it? In other words, I am asking what is the workspace area associated with this resource. That seems to me to be a property of that resource, because every resource could answer it differently. Sincerely, James
