Deleted 3.1.18 "It is not possible for a client to set or retrieve properties of
a direct reference, distinct from those of its target."
Deleted 3.1.19 "When creating a direct reference, it is possible to request that
the location of its target be hidden."
Changed the definitions of Collection and Member Resource to match what's in the
WebDAV spec.  Changed the definitions of Direct Reference,  Redirect Reference,
Strong Reference, Weak Reference, and Referential Integrity to match what's in
the Collections Protocol Spec.

Comment:
  Revised based on discussion at Redmond June 16, 1998.

Change "internal member" to "ordinary member."

Separate references from collection membership as far as possible.

Say that requirements are silent on referential integrity policy.

Say that cycles are not prohibited.

Say that the protocol spec may not satisfy the requirements related to strong
references.
