Default namespace assumed

[Robert Owen <eu...@sas.com>]

Doing a PROPPATCH with properties that do not have a namespace (ie. no
namespace prefix) are returned in the DAV: namespace. Testing on Apache
(mod_dav), IIS and WSS this does not happen. For example, the following
PROPPATCH 

PROPPATCH /file HTTP/1.1
...
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<D:propertyupdate xmlns:D="DAV:">
   <D:set>
      <D:prop>
         <SimplePropertyName>SimplePropertyValue</SimplePropertyName
      </D:prop>
   </D:set>
</D:propertyupdate>

Now a PROPFIND (for all properties as a PROPFIND for <SimplePropertyName>
does not work) gives:

HTTP/1.1 207 Multi-Status
...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:" xmlns:S="http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/">
   <response>
      ...
      <SimplePropertyName
xmlns="DAV:">SimplePropertyValue</SimplePropertyName>
   </response>
</multistatus> 

placing SimplePropertyName in the DAV: namespace, which it isn't. Even if
the SimplePropertyName element did not have the xmlns="DAV:" qualifier, it
would still be in the DAV: namespace from the specification on the
multistatus element. The SimplePropertyName should have the namespace reset,
as in

<SimplePropertyName xmlns="">SimplePropertyValue</SimplePropertyName>

Using a prefix throughout for the DAV: namespace (eg. xmlns:D="DAV:") could
also work in this case, but for some reason a default namespace is used in
this PROPFIND response.
