Mainly it's terrific. Good decisions about what's in and out of scope. A few comments: 1) In several places the ID uses the phrase "a resource or collection". I suggest just using the term "resource", since a collection is a kind of resource. The existing language implies that the two are disjoint, and might leave some doubt as to the status of (potentially future) sub types of resource, e.g. referential resources, versioning portals, etc. 2) Would 6.3 be clearer if it were defined in terms of the actual HTTP and WebDAV method names (GET, PUT, DELETE) instead of generic actions ('alter the body of a resource', 'add a child to a collection', etc)? 3) Shouldn't 6.3 also say something about - retrieving the body of a resource (e.g. GET) - retrieving the value of a property (e.g. PROPFIND) 4) In 7.1, it is not clear whether the term 'reset' means "clear" or "set all again". I assume the latter is intended from the justification, but could be wrong. best regards Jim ------------------------------------ http://www.parc.xerox.com/jdavis/ 650-812-4301
