Thanks for the eloquent explanation Julian.
Nice concept, which makes my question redundant.

Hello,
 From my experience with the bind store, the first DAV:parent child in a
DAV:parent-set element is the 'real' or original resource. If a bind is
created to this same resource, a second DAV:parent child is added, 
but no
difference is made between them exists, witch is the justification of
Reschke statement. That's even worse: if you erase the ‘original’, 
only the
‘bind’ resource is left, so it becames the ‘original’ resource :P

That's not "worse", that's the whole point of it.
 In my project we solved this problem by making a propatch before 
making a
bind of a resource, where we would store the original resource URI in 
the
resource to be binded. Since the properties are shared by all binds, 
that
means we can distinguish what is a bind and the original resource.

There is no "original" resource. Actually, there is only resource. The 
BIND mechanism is about mapping multiple URIs to the same resource, so 
the only question you could ask is "what is the binding under which 
the resource originally was created"?

Best regards, Julian

As far as the BIND spec is concerned, there is no difference.
