This is because we adopt a convention of having the outermost XML > element of a property be the name of the property itself. > > </ejw> I do not believe that the specification is clear on this. Specifically, mod_dav stores the value as "\n <R:BoxType Box Type A </R:BoxType\n". The name is part of the find/patch request, rather than part of the value. A corollary is that mod_dav does not store any attributes that are associated with the name element. On a separate note: I believe I have detailed this appropriately on the mod_dav home page (http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/), but if somebody goes to read it and finds it isn't clear enough, then please let me know. I've been trying to capture things that could be called "implementation defined"; the only other imp-defined item, so far, is the <href> format in a <response> element. thx -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
