I agree that the spec should mention something about the intended interaction between DAV:nresults and DAV:score. The most straightforward approach would be to state that the server MUST follow the expected behavior. As much as I'd like to move the sorting cycles from the server to the client, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this while still allowing truncated result sets. The fact that a server may truncate the result set of a SEARCH, without the client explicitly asking it to do so, leads me to believe that sorting is an inherently server-side activity.
