Dear Peter, Kalman, 

we discussed the strawman comments during last weeks, and
have a few questions.  Would you be so kind to give us
feedback?  This would be extremely helpful...

Hmm, we are not sure why that is.  Are they too complex?
Not focused enough?

Hmm, we actually hoped that the semantics is well defined.
If the copy call returns w/o error, a copy of a file will
exist on the target location.

We are not sure what remains unclear.  We had a extensive
discussion about consistency models: is consistency what you
actually worry about?

OTOH, I am not sure in what state you read the document:
maybe it was just unclear in a older version?

---

all you other commments have been very useful, we tried to
take care of them in the current version of the spec.


Thanks, Andre.
