I do not recall the design rationale -- perhaps it is in the WebDAV book of Why. But in any case, one can't argue against it on the basis of difficulty, since the PyDAV server implements PROPPATCH as atomic. Apologies if I misunderstood you Jim please reply to jrd3@alum.mit.edu, despite the Reply-To address in the header.
