He has been itching to get it released since September :-)

Jim did state there is one benefit to the delay in the release. It
guarantees that mod_dav was built independently. The IETF likes
independent implementations before moving a Proposed Standard to an
Actual Standard.

On topic:
I'm not sure what XML parser he uses for the message bodies. I got a
couple tracebacks during some initial interop testing, but I didn't
immediately recognize anything.

Jim also has a DAV client written in Python. No idea on the XML stuff
there either.

Note that he doesn't deal with some of the encoding issues yet.

mod_dav uses James Clark's Expat parser (nice parser!).

Cheers,

p.s. okay. so I didn't really say anything interesting or useful. bleh.
