yes please. lightning and sunbird 0.7 rc1 were released today. i did
some initial vetting with lightning today, and so far it looks good.

we don't support setting acls either. a resource's acl is essentially
fixed when it is created and can't be changed. see the cosmo webdav
acl page for more info on our static access control model.

the only standalone dav clients i know are cadaver and dav explorer.
i'm sure web searches will turn up others. there's probably a list on
webdav.org.

yea, especially since the new privilege checking code is some of the
most recent code, i haven't had time to find lots of bugs in it yet,
so we should basically try every combination of principal, method, and
resource that we can. the privilege table on the cosmo webdav page
should help with that.

here's where i got ahead of myself in the cosmo caldav page. i don't
think we're going to have VAVAILABILITY. since we were never planning
to use it in free-busy report calculations, you don't need to worry
about testing that. we do want to store and return those components in
.8 though, but i don't think it will make it by tomorrow.
