I thought that Apache 2 would result in a more widespread usage of
DAV (I'm not sure why I think that - something to do with subversion,
IIRC)?
I suppose we can leave out DAV from the HTTP wrapper; frameworks like
PEAR can always implement a DAV protocol wrapper using script anyway,
and it'll probably easier to implement an XML parser in script too.
