Versioning and configuration management are important features for
ontrolling the evolution of remotely authored Web content. Parallel
development leverages versioning capability to allow multiple authors to
simultaneously author Web content. These functions form a basis for
flexible, scaleable distributed authoring. This document describes a set
of scenarios, functional, and non-functional requirements for web
versioning extensions to the WebDAV protocol. It supersedes the
versioning-related goals of [WEBDAV-GOALS].

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.
