Only RFC2396bis will actually make "DAV:" a legal URI. You're proposed change however is inaccurate -- the specification itself uses a single namespace, and that namespace has the name "DAV:". So I think there's really nothing that needs to change. Best regards, Julian -- <green/>bytes GmbH -- http://www.greenbytes.de -- tel:+492512807760
