Just checking: the SDK allows people to write code without any knowledge of WebDAV protocol, and potentially enables them to write code that basically relies on the "classic" lock-null resources (LOCK uri then MKCOL uri, ...)? If the SDK is supposed to work with pure RFC2518bis servers (is it?), we're facing a problem here. Did you consider to *also* deprecate this kind of operations?
