In 2518 it is true that properties are not multi-valued.  

That being said, work has been done since 2518 and we now have 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=
7567

which includes how to do datatypes in Webdav.  

Also note that earlier drafts
(http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-property-datatype
s-06.html) included arrays and extensions to DASL that allow for
searching of arrays. 

Some Webdav Servers have implemented both the datatyping and array
portions of these drafts.

ok. i was concerned that webdav properties themselves could be 
multivalued, and that not allowing multivalued jcr properties would be 
problematic there, but i can't find anything in rfc 2518 that says 
webdav properties can be multivalued, so i guess it's not an issue.

will do. tho if you don't mind, could you describe how you generate 
webdav requests for testing the server? i'd like to use the same method 
that you do in order to eliminate the possibility that i'm just sending 
bad requests to the server. thanks!
