Re: CalDAV draft Informal Last-Call

Julian,

Thanks for your feedback!  The idea to do an informal last call is
exactly to get this kind of feedback. :-)

Lisa, Cyrus and I already discussed about the possibility of making
reference to RFC2518bis. We will consider your feedback on this issue.

Meanwhile, it would be appreciated if you could elaborate some more on
the implication of referencing RFC2518bis instead of RFC2518 in CalDAV.

Thanks,
Bernard

P.S. I have printed rfc2518bis and will take the time to review it!
