This is a good point. Jim, please add a note to the open issues list that we need to put in some language stating that getlastmodified MUST only return 1123 dates. I think it would be fine to back date this requirement to include HTTP/1.0 servers which implement WebDAV functionality. It has been suggested that we forsake even the 1123 format in favor of the more widely (outside of HTTP, that is) adopted ISO format which is used elsewhere in the WebDAV spec (13.1 creationdate).
