Technical Summary
This specification extends the Web Distributed Authoring and
Versioning (WebDAV) MKCOL method to allow collections of
arbitrary resourcetype to be created and to allow properties
to be set at the same time. It avoids minting new MK* methods
(such as MKCALENDAR) for each new type of collection.
Working Group Summary
Process was smooth; the only early disagreement was about the
scope of this document (whether it should apply to
non-collection resources as well, and whether it should also
setting ACLs). In the end, the WG converged on the minimal
functionality needed to resolve the issue.
Document Quality
This protocol extension defined in this document is used
by the VCARDDAV protocol (another deliverable of the Working
Group), for which several vendors have announced support
(for instance, Apple, and Viagenie).
Personnel
The Document Shepherd for this document was Julian Reschke,
and the responsible Area Director is Alexey Melnikov.
