REFS

Editorial

There are two references to [Lagoze, 1996], yet this reference is not in the references section. There are also two references to [Fielding et al., 1996] which should be [RFC2068]. Section 24.4.3 references [RFC2141] yet this isn't in the references section.
[Changed [Lagoze, 1996] to [WC] and added a reference for it in the References section. Changed references to [Fielding et al., 1996] to [RFC2068]. Added reference to RFC 2141 in references section.]

None.

UUID_NOT_GUID

Editorial

The ISO RPC specification uses the term UUID, not GUID.
[Changed all GUID to UUID.]

None.

XML_MIME

Change

XML can be transported using text/xml and application/xml MIME types. DAV applications must be able to accept either.
[Added new requirement to section 14: " Since XML can be transported as text/xml or application/xml, a DAV server MUST accept DAV method requests with XML parameters transported as either text/xml or application/xml, and DAV client MUST accept XML responses using either text/xml or application/xml."]

Change recommended by Jim Davis: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/1998JulSep/0072.html

URI_URL_DEF

Editorial

List discussion indicated some confusion about the difference between a URI and a URL. Larry Masinter suggested a better definition for URI/URL.
[Modified the definition of URI/URL to state that the difference between a URI and a URL can be found in RFC2396].

List discussion starts with this by Geoff Clemm: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/1998OctDec/0137.html
Larry Masinter’s suggested definition language is at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/1998OctDec/0142.html

URI_VS_RESOURCE

Change

The specification was unclear about the distinction between a URI and a resource, and whether all types of resources could have multiple URIs per resource.
[Modified the specification to explicitly say that all resources, including collections, can have more than one URI. Modified the language in the specification such that the URI vs. resource distinction is clear. A detailed list of sections affected is listed in: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/1998OctDec/0126.html]
