I assume the reason for this is to allow disambiguation between absolute and relative URI references. But, "dav:" isn't a valid URI reference of any kind, so what if we <holds-breath/> updated 2396 to allow ":" as the last character of the relative path's first segment? Would that break anything? A change to 2396 is obviously a serious thing, but so is not breaking WebDAV, despite its quirkiness wrt namespaces. MB -- Mark Baker, CSO, Planetfred. Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. mbaker@planetfred.com
