RE: LABEL request only allows one set, one add...

Lisa,

I think the usage of "ANY" is intentional (for RFC3253). The wording just
states what DAV's XML enxtensibilty rules require -- the DAV:label element
may contain a sequence of arbitrary elements, of which there may be only one
DAV:add, DAV:set or DAV:remove element.
