Interneteorking - Autonomous heterogeneous nodes, 4. Interworking - Autonomous heterogenous distributed processes. Directs that a discussion of Version Control in a distributed, replicated environment be established on the list. Spec assumes that server enforces a version control model. At least some provision should be made for client setting policy rather than assume server always does so.
Interoperability is the IETF gold standard by which to measure the elements of any protocol.
Discovery of method capability is deferred to a later presentation. Checkout function is too complicated. Seems to require three-step procedure. One need only ask once for server support of method capability. Leads a discussion on whether to seek official status as a working group with the IETF, the W3C, or both.
