Sorry, what's the rationale for PROPFIND not ignoring unknown XML elements? Does this mean anywhere in the propfind body or just in certain places? I assume it's supposed to fail when it sees unknown elements? This would make some existing client/server interactions fail -- e.g. clients that have already shipped extending the PROPFIND request in ways that ordinary WebDAV servers ignore, but special WebDAV servers know the extension & behave smarter. lisa > -----Original Message----- > From: Clemm, Geoff [mailto:gclemm@rational.com] > Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 2:50 PM > To: w3c-dist-auth@w3.org > Subject: RE: PROPFIND returning *more* than expected, and other questions > > > Minimally, we should indicate that PROPFIND MUST NOT ignore > unknown XML elements. > > I personally would prefer us to state that PROPFIND SHOULD > (or even MUST) only return requested properties, unless > someone can come up with a compelling reason for not adding > this constraint. > > Cheers, > Geoff
