Julian, Thanks for the reply. You are right in that versions should ideally be immutable. But I think having a server side feature of overwriting the content would be certainly nice, specially in situations where the authors/developers can be trusted to decide whether or not to overwrite (to avoid proliferation of unwanted versions).
With reference to your reply below: Is it at least possible to overwrite/modify Live Properties of earlier versions without creating a new version? I tried passing the history URI of a VCR to the PROPPATCH method, with a "set" action for one of its live properties, but I got a "cannot-modify-version" error (403 status). If its possible to overwrite such client set properties, could you please tell me what WebdavResource api to use and what path to pass?

No. Versions are immutable (at least their content and their dead properties). That's the whole point of having a versioning system, isn't it?
