RE: content type for WebDAV request/response bodies, was: [ACL] Access Control Protocol -07 submitted

Below is an attempt to clarify the role of the DTD fragments:

19	APPENDICIES
19.1	WebDAV XML Document Type Definition Addendum
All XML elements defined in this Document Type Definition (DTD) belong to
the XML namespace "DAV:"DAV namespace. This DTD should be viewed as an
addendum to the DTD provided in [RFC2518], section 23.1.
Note that WebDAV messages must not be validated using the DTD, as WebDAV is
based on XML namespaces, and the special WebDAV "element ignore" rule
([RFC2518], section 23.3.2) applies.
The following transformations need to be applied to a WebDAV message before
it can be validated using the DTD:
-	removal of all elements and attributes not defined in RFC2518 or this
specification,
-	transformation of all remaining elements into elements in no namespace.
