The embedded version-history element has the href-format, so you should be
able to do:

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
     <D:expand-property xmlns:D="DAV:">
       <D:property name="version-controlled-binding-set">
         <D:property name="creator-displayname"/>
       </D:property>
     </D:expand-property>

(if what you're after is the DAV:creator-displayname of the version
history).
