It just occurred to me that the statement Elwyn was referring to is
broken anyway. Currently it says
(<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-webdav-rfc2518bis-18.html#rfc.section.9.2.p.4>):
Servers MUST process PROPPATCH instructions in document order (an
exception to the normal rule that ordering is irrelevant).
The issue here is that we're not talking about "PROPPATCH instructions",
but the child elements of DAV:propertyupdate.
Proposed fix (see also
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-rfc2518bis-latest.html#rfc.issue.proppatch-document-order>):
Servers MUST process the child elements of the propertyupdate XML
element in the order they appear in the request body (an exception to
the normal rule that ordering is irrelevant).
Best regards, Julian
