It might for some servers, but there's no guarantee. Can you provide an example (make one up) where ownership cannot be defined as hierarchical and accumulative? I am suggesting that HTTP's concept of "ownership" (for purposes of replacing cache entries) be defined by the specs to be hierarchical, since if I own / and I want to sabotage /subdir/ all I have to do is log in to the server and replace/delete it. -- Nicholas.
