getlastmodified needs to be updatable to do a UNIX-like touch command. Sets
the modified date on a resource so dependent relationships are processed by
builders or make.

Let me see if I can summarize the points of consensus on this issue:
Consensus:
- protected (i.e. properties that MUST NOT be modifiable with PROPPATCH)
creationdate
getcontentlength
getetag
lockdiscovery
supportedlock
resourcetype
- not protected (i.e. properties that MUST be modifiable by PROPPATCH)
displayname
source
Still under discussion:
getlastmodified
getcontenttype
getcontentlanguage
There are two open issues:
1. Changing get* properties requires the server to perform a property
lookup
when processing a GET method request, and this is a performance hit for
some
servers.
2. It is unclear why getlastmodified needs to be writeable.
Let's see if we can resolve these remaining issues over the next 1-2 days,
so we can wrap this one up.
