Properties: Value is well-formed XML
The value of a property is a well-formed XML (eXtensible Markup Language) fragment
- WebDAV also requires use of XML Namespaces
Benefits:
- extensibility: namespaces allow mix of elements in properties
- i18n support: XML supports ISO 10646 encoding of characters
- property contents are structured values
- supports “plug-and-play” of W3C RDF work
