Long answer: this requires a common understanding of what multivalued properties are, and how they are serialized. A proposal was contained in a draft of what later was published as RFC 4316, see <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-property-datatypes-06.html#rfc.section.A>. Back when we discussed this, there was a preference of keeping things simple, and so it was removed from subsequent drafts. That being said, I know that the proposal was implemented both by SAP and Xythos (although likely in different namespaces). I would be happy to resurrect that part of the spec as a separate activity, but today I wouldn't be able to update the SAP implementation anymore. BR, Julian
