RE: Reminder: WG Last Call on Ordered Collections

OK,

here's the text I added to resolve this issue:


"Note to implementors: this specification does not mandate a specific
implementation of MOVE operations within the same parent collection.
Therefore, servers may either implement this as a simple rename operation
(preserving the collection member's position), or as a sequence of "remove"
and "add" (causing the semantics of "adding a new member" to apply). Future
revisions of this specification may specify this behaviour more precisely
based on future implementation experience."

Jim, could you please issue the "immediate call for rough consensus"?
