BugZilla issue 236: DAV:displayname

Hi,

find below proposed changes regarding issue 236 
(<http://ietf.cse.ucsc.edu:8080/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236>):

Section 15.2., para. 6:
OLD:

     Description:   The DAV:displayname property should be defined on all
       DAV compliant resources.  If present, the property contains a
       description of the resource that is suitable for presentation to a
       user.  This property is defined on the resource, and hence SHOULD
       have the same value independent of the Request-URI used to
       retrieve it (thus computing this property based on the Request-URI
       is deprecated).  While generic clients will be able to use the
       value for display to end users, client UI designers must
       understand that the method for identifying resources is still the
       URL.  In particular, there is no guarantee whatsoever that the
       values of this property are unique for each member of a
       collection.  Also note that changes to DAV:displayname do not
       issue moves or copies to the server, but simply change a piece of
       meta-data on the individual resource.

(this get's rid of the first - misleading - sentence, and introduces a 
paragraph break after the normative part of the description).
