Hi,

find below proposed changes regarding issue 236 
(<http://ietf.cse.ucsc.edu:8080/bugzilla/show_bug.cg
i?id=236>):

Section 15.2., para. 6:
OLD:

     Description:   The DAV:displayname property should be
defined on all
       DAV compliant resources.  If present, the property
contains a
       description of the resource that is suitable for
presentation to a
       user.  This property is defined on the resource, and
hence SHOULD
       have the same value independent of the Request-URI
used to
       retrieve it (thus computing this property based on
the Request-URI
       is deprecated).  While generic clients will be able
to use the
       value for display to end users, client UI designers
must
       understand that the method for identifying resources
is still the
       URL.  In particular, there is no guarantee whatsoever
that the
       values of this property are unique for each member of
a
       collection.  Also note that changes to
DAV:displayname do not
       issue moves or copies to the server, but simply
change a piece of
       meta-data on the individual resource.

NEW:

resource.


(this get's rid of the first - misleading - sentence, and
introduces a 
paragraph break after the normative part of the
description).
