Re: 2518bis-14 feedback

Joe,

thanks for the feedback. I've added all editorial issues to 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-rfc2518bis-latest.html#rfc.issue.edit>, 
hoping that the document editor will take advantage of that compliation.

Once issue deserves special comment:

I think that actually the whole section should be removed. It's a mix of 
incorrect and confusing stuff, and normative statements that just 
duplicate what has been said before. There simply is no reason to 
mention lock refresh again in the context of write locks, because it's 
the same for every kind of lock. Having that section there is just 
confusing (see also 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-rfc2518bis-latest.html#rfc.issue.bz217>).

Best regards, Julian
