The XML elements that appear in the body of a method are defined
in the section of the specification that defines that method.
The XML elements that are the value of a property are defined in
the section of the specification that defines that property.

The variant of the VERSION-CONTROL method that
allows a version to be specified to create a VCR for an existing
version-history is defined in section 6.7. So the definition of
the version xml element appears there:
 
     <!ELEMENT version (href)>

An example of this is element is found in section 6.7.1.

     VERSION-CONTROL /ws/public/bar.html HTTP/1.1
     Host: www.webdav.org
     Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"
     Content-Length: xxxx

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
     <D:version-control xmlns:D="DAV:">
       <D:version>
         <D:href>http://repo.webdav.org/his/12/ver/V3</D:href>
       </D:version>
     </D:version-control>

Yes, it logically could, but this is not defined in RFC 3253.
