If I read all this stuff right, you will now be able to modify Drupal's files through webDAV. While this is probably interesting I think that modifying and uploading files to Drupal through webDAV would be more interesting. Eg image module would have an webDAV enabled upload directory and retrieve uloaded files from there.
That would be most interesting and useful to me -- and others who have hosts like mine. My primary hosting company only allows access to files via WebDAV; there is no FTP and no shell. That means it is a problem to have Drupal have upload directories; they have to be created writable by everyone, since the web server runs as a different UID than each WebDAV user (e.g. the site owner). Having "open" directories like that is not very secure or desirable. But if Drupal could use my WebDAV credentials and do WebDAV uploads, all would be solved. My host uses mod_dav with Apache. -- Chris Johnson
