I think I gave that the other day:
Perhaps "URL properties" isn't the right term, but what is?
In the face of bindings, "URL properties" are those properties
which are (potentially) effected by operations on bindings, where
"resource properties" are not effected by such operations.
In other words, they are the class of properties whose values
(potentially) differ based on the URL specified in the PROPFIND
(when more than one binding exists to a resource). "URL properties"
isn't intended to imply that the property is stored with the
URL or anything else like that: it is merely descriptive of
behavior.
As we discussed earlier, some implementations treat DAV:displayname
as just such a property.
