After reading the preference section I am left wondering:

1) what does Appendix B.4 have to do with it?
 there is no use of the preference in the examples.

2) what happens when Depth:0 is given in the request with depth-noroot?

3) what happens when the Depth header is omitted in the request with
depth-noroot?

4) what methods this preference is actually valid for?
 The depth-noroot text references Depth header existence *or implicit*,
but the Depth header leaves it open and explicitly says any method can
re-define Depth. That does not bode well for implementations getting
interoperability correct. Particularly for the impliciat-Depth methods.
