Summary: Ready for publication as Experimental. I had a few minor
questions that might just be a result of my own lack of
understanding.
Major issues:
Minor issues:
Section 2.3:
If because of multiple
bindings to a resource, more than one source resource updates a
single destination resource, the order of the updates is server
defined.
Are you trying to say that a Request-URI can map to more than one
resource? I didn't think this was possible.
If a COPY request would cause a new resource to be created as a copy
of an existing resource, and that COPY request has already created a
copy of that existing resource, the COPY request instead creates
another binding to the previous copy, instead of creating a new
resource.
This confused me a bit, but after reading the examples in the next
section I think I understand what is intended here: do you mean that
if the resource graph pointed at by the Request-URI itself has multiple
bindings to the same resouce, that resource is only copied once by
the COPY operation?
