  In spite of Guido's misgivings, I think that if the core RFCs have
proven effective and useful and the implementation conforms and is
stable with respect to those, it's a good idea to include it,
especially as DAV servers really start to show up.
  My question is with regard to the continued development you mention: 
Would this change the existing API, or augment & extend it?  Or is it
too early to say?
  If it would change the API, it should wait.
  So, are you working on a "Using WebDAV" book yet, with all the
interesting client & server availability & configuration info we'd
actually need to be able to use it?  ;)  *That's* what WebDAV needs -- 
accessibility!
