The DAV.Versioning.DefaultPublished link should only be an attribute of the document tree not of each of the individual versions. Symantically this makes sense because the published version is more of an attribute of the Versioned collection of documents than of the particular documents themselves (except for maybe the one document that is pointed to by it). Also many systems (ours in particular) will use the setting of this link to trigger some server side processes that are involved in the actual publishing of the document. Copying it from a private development server to a public one is a typical example of this. Setting and maintaining this link for all of the versions seems like a lot of unnecessary overhead as well. Setting it only on the one version that is published instead of on the version tree would mean that anyone wanting to find out which version is published would need to do a walk of the tree to find it. -- Stephen Martin || // // ,'/~~\' 185 Columbia Street West smartin@mks.com /||/// //|' `\\\ Waterloo, Ontario (519)883-3215 / | //_// ||\___/ Canada N2L 5Z5 ------------------------------------- Tel: +1 519 884 2251 MORTICE KERN SYSTEMS INC.
