	Title		: Requirements for Advanced Collection Functionality in 
                          WebDAV

The base WebDAV protocol [WebDAV] provides basic support for
collections.  It defines a MKCOL method for creating collections
and specifies how other HTTP and WebDAV methods interact with
collections.  It supports internal members of collections, which it
defines as members whose URIs are immediately relative to the URI
of the collection.
 
This draft sets out requirements for more advanced, optional
collection functionality. It extends the base functionality in two
general directions: support for referential resources, and support
for ordered collections.  A separate WebDAV specification is
expected to define protocol elements providing the functionality
described here.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
