There are servers that accept only particular types of content (such as something running on top of an XML database). Would it be useful to allow clients to discover support for these kinds of things upfront? Sure, that's exactly I'd be happy to define a profile and give it a compliance class name for use in the DAV header (for example). Best regards, Julian
