I'm not objecting to a change in semantics. What I see is a discrepancy between both specs' requirements on dead property support (SHOULD), and support for copying dead properties (MUST). If resource /a supports dead properties, and /b doesn't, then a COPY request from /a to /b "MUST" fail, which IMHO isn't a useful requirement. A resource should still be able to act as a destination for COPY, even if it doesn't support dead properties. So the proposed change is to relax the requirement to SHOULD. Does this make things clearer? Best regards, Julian
