Re: Should it be DAV:must-not-be-checked-out or DAV:must-be-checked-i n?

Looks like they all should be DAV:must-be-checked-in (to avoid the 
negative).

Hi, 
In section 1.6.1 we have an example of a CHECKOUT method which fails with 
a DAV:must-not-be-checked-out 
and returning a 409 Conflict. 
I cannot actually see in the spec where the Precondition 
DAV:must-not-be-checked-out for the CHECKOUT 
method is defined? 
CHECKOUT has a DAV:must-be-checked-in Precondition NOT a 
DAV:must-not-be-checked-out 
Precondition.  So is the example wrong or should the condition for 
CHECKOUT be changed. 
I also note that DAV:must-not-be-checked-out is used as a precondition for 
the LABEL method. 
Perhaps they should be consistent and both use 
DAV:must-not-be-checked-out? 
  
Regards,
