In section 3 Privileges of RFC3744
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3744#section-3> it says:
Aggregate and non-aggregate privileges are both capable of being
abstract.
but in section 5.4 DAV:current-user-privilege-set of RFC3744
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3744#section-5.4> it says:
Therefore, each element in the DAV:current-user-privilege-set
property MUST identify a non-abstract privilege from the
DAV:supported-privilege-set property.
In a discussion amongst CalDAV implementors, it was brought up that the
above requirement would be problematic for implementations that supports
non-aggregate "abstract" privileges.
That is, an implementation that allows such a privilege to be set
individually on a resource (either by default or through a proprietary
mechanism) would not be allowed to report this privilege in the
DAV:current-user-privilege-set property.
Cheers,
Bernard
