Subject: [Moderator Action] Proposal for encoding a resource with
properties
Our discussion of compound documents reminded me of an idea I toyed with
last summer: encoding a DAV resource, bundled with its properties, into
a MIME entity. I've attached a possible Draft describing one way to do
this. It's quite preliminary--it describes the XML elements informally
instead of with a DTD, and it isn't formatted to be published as a
Draft--but I hope it gets the idea across. It supports all the
currently extant types of DAV resources (ordinary, reference, and
collection), and discusses (briefly :-) how to use it with MKCOL.
