Hi, RFC2518 currently says that the values of get* properties must match those HTTP headers returned upon a GET/HEAD request "without accept headers" (for instance, see 13.3). I'd like to see clarified a) the rational for this restriction, and b) a precise definition of what "accept" headers are. Looking at RFC2616, the only "accept" header is actually the one called "accept", while "accept-language" does not qualify. My personal preference would be to get rid of this language, unless we can agree on what it's supposed to accomplish, and rephrase it accordingly. I personally think that PROPFIND should be just an extended syntax for HEAD, supporting additional properties and allowing collection member retrieval, but stay completely compatible with the GET/HEAD response headers where possible.
