It isn't clear to me that DPM is a distinctive type - as far as I know it only implements standard interfaces like SRM and xroot, so why is it a different type of service to, say, dcache? What would you propose as a definition? DPM as a product name is published elsewhere. I think we probably need a type name that would be common between, say, DPM, dcache and Castor since they provide basically the same functionality.

xroot has already been discussed extensively and we made a decision - I think the decision was to use "xroot" for the protocol name but we should check.

For webdav I think the "org." prefix isn't adding much here - probably we should just use "webdav" as it's a well-known protocol defined in an RFC so there's no issue of a name clash, but there may be other views. Anyway there are likely to be other interested parties - dcache at least - who should express a view.
