Lisa, > But I question whether it's needed.

GoLive 5 uses "PROPFIND ALLPROP" (with depth 0/1) for retrieving properties of resources on the server; we are *not* using "ALLPROP" with "depth infinity" (but - btw - we are using "PROPFIND PROP" with "depth infinity"). It should be not a big deal for us to replace our "PROPFIND ALLPROP" with "PROPFIND PROP" in future releases. Therefore - regarding future releases - it's not a big problem for us if "ALLPROP" does not longer exist in the spec. On the other hand: GoLive 5 is using "ALLPROP" so - for compatiblity reasons - its *very* important that existing servers keep there support for "ALLPROP" for a while; GoLive 5 relies on "ALLPROP" and is *not* able to work with a server which does not support "ALLPROP".
