It's certainly not-compliant > behaviour. While a WebDAV property's "value" is marshalled as a sequence of well-formed XML. If a property contains a list of authors, it would be OK to marshall this as <foo:authors> <foo:author>Chris</foo:author> <foo:author>Julian</foo:author> </foo:authors> In this way WebDAV handles "multi-valued" properties. - Jim
