With a non-locking version server, this could be made to do the "right thing" (eg create a new descendant, forking if necessary). What I'm worried about with a new content-type is that we would have a more-complex implementation, not compatible with non-versioning "PUT"-style clients. I guess the servers could implement 2 protocols, but is this the best way? -- David --------------------------------------------+-------------------------- David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu | david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science | Dynamic Diagrams http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ | http://dynamicDiagrams.com/
