Hi,

RFC2518bis updates parts of RFC3253 (DAV:error below DAV:response) in an incompatible way, and thus should note it in the front matter ("Updates: 3253") and mention it as a change near the Changes Appendix.

(see <http://ietf.osafoundation.org:8080/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi? id=258>)

Best regards, Julian

This is always a complicated problem of does an update document update the documents that depend on the drafts it's updates. An extreme example is should TLS 1.2 update every document that uses TLS 1.0. It's pretty unwieldy to take that path so I I think a better path is that 3253 depends on 2518 and when we update 3253, then it will be changed to depend on the RFC that comes out of the 2518bis draft.

The WG definitely considered the impact of the incompatibilities here and decided that this was an acceptable path - the only question we are trying to sort out here is if the id tracker shows this an up update on 3253 or not.
