Hi,

over on the Jackrabbit developer's mailing list, Marcel Reutegger noted
that the description of DAV:depth is not clear as it should be.

I've added a new issue for this
(<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-search-issues.html#5.4-clarify-depth>),
and propose to fix this by using language from RFC2518:

"When the scope is a collection, if DAV:depth is "0", the search
includes only the collection. When it is "1", the search includes the
collection and its immediate children. When it is "infinity", it
includes the collection and all its progeny."

Best regards, Julian
