This gets into the realm of renditions... I agree with Geoff, alternative renditions of a resource should be different URLs, however we should define mechanisms for creatung these renditions from the original resource (perhaps the concept of a "master" resource and related "renditions") and being able to determine the master and the renditions from the properties on each. --Dylan > -----Original Message----- > From: w3c-dist-auth-request@w3.org > [mailto:w3c-dist-auth-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Clemm, Geoff > Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 4:55 PM > To: WebDAV > Subject: RE: Ideas: GETSRC & MULTIPUT > > > In general, I believe having distinct URL's for different resources > is far superior to defining new methods.
