If there aren't many implementations yet of the For heaven's sake, no!!!!! That would be an incompatible change. We should clarify that the attributes are in no namespace. > DAV:expand-property report, we could get this change publicized now, > to minimize interoperability issues in the future. There are. Speaking of which -- I think several server implementors claim to support RFC3253 (basic versioning). I'd certainly hope that they all support DAV:expand-property, as it's a required report. > I could go either way on this, but just to get the voting started, > I'll vote, yes, we should make this change. No. Not only because it is a incompatible change (that breaks our server), it's also a very unusual usage of namespaces in XML. For instance, check XSLT: XSLT attributes are in no namespace, unless they appear on an element which itself is not in the XSLT namespace.
