How about:
As an example of how COPY with Depth infinity would work in the presence of
bindings, consider the following collection:
+------------------+
| Root Collection |
| bindings: |
| CollX |
+------------------+
|
|
|
+-------------------------------+
| Collection C1 |<-------+
| bindings: | |
| x.gif CollY | |
+-------------------------------+ |
| \ |
| \ (creates loop) |
| \ |
+-------------+ +------------------+ |
| Resource R1 | | Collection C2 | |
+-------------+ | bindings: | |
| y.gif CollZ | |
+------------------+ |
| | |
| +--------+
|
+-------------+
| Resource R2 |
+-------------+
If a COPY with Depth inifinity is submitted to /CollX, with destination of
/CollA, the outcome of the copy operation is:
+-------------------------+
| Root Collection |
| bindings: |
| CollX CollA |
+-------------------------+
/ \
/ \
/ \
/ \
+-------------------------------+
+-------------------------------+
| Collection C1 |<-------+ | Collection C3
|<-------+
| bindings: | | | bindings:
| |
| x.gif CollY | | | x.gif CollY
| |
+-------------------------------+ |
+-------------------------------+ |
| \ | | \
|
| \ (creates loop) | | \
(creates loop) |
| \ | | \
|
+-------------+ +------------------+ | +-------------+
+------------------+ |
| Resource R1 | | Collection C2 | | | Resource R3 | |
Collection C4 | |
+-------------+ | bindings: | | +-------------+ |
bindings: | |
| y.gif CollZ | | | y.gif
CollZ | |
+------------------+ |
+------------------+ |
| | | |
| |
| +--------+ |

| |
+-------------+
+-------------+
| Resource R2 | |
Resource R4 |

Unfortunately, this figure goes over the RFC column limit, so it'll need
some tweaking before its in final form.
