The dasl basic search specification specifies that the select clause can either contain a single <d:prop><property-to-select></d:prop> element or else <d:allprop/> . In order for a basic search request to mimic a propfind this lacks the ability to select multiple properties of choice. What I would like to be able to do is this:


<d:select>
 <d:prop><d:displayname/></d:prop>
 <d:prop><H:newsdate/></d:prop>
 <d:prop><Z:authors/></d:prop>
</d:select>

Notice that this does not conflict with the spec but rather expands on it. This would allow one to optimize performance by doing a search instead of a propfind. With the new sql dasl implementation (once it stabilizes), depending on what properties you are requesting and what store topology you have configured, this would mean only 1 (one, uno, un, ein, een) SQL query gets executed instead of Oxn (x being the number of properties, n being the number of resources in the propfind result)
