ResumoExperience from research on integrating versioning and configuration management support to the Web has shown that building such support on the basic Web infrastructure leads to undesirable architectural choices. This paper presents goals for a standardization effort called Delta-V which is extending the Web infrastructure, specifically the core network protocols HTTP and WebDAV, with capabilities for remote versioning and configuration management. Important goals include providing equal support for all content types, allowing versioning unaware applications to participate, supporting both mutable and immutable revisions, ensuring that human-readable strings are internationalizable, and provision of strong authentication and transport security. These goals are currently being used to develop the Delta-V protocol within the Internet Engineering Task Force.
