But the CalDAV’s Default calendar and the Scheduling Inbox collections cannot be deleted. They can exist in the calendar-home-set collection, together with other, deletable calendars. So the calendar-home-set must have unbind privilege, as some of its descendant can be deleted. How to communicate to the WebDAV client which are deletable? Communication it upfront may not be possible without extensions. One potential approach would be defining a DAV systen property that exposes the same information as the Allow response field.
