Why Use WebDAV? - further to the experiment I had with DAV the other night, I thought I oughta RTFM (well the FAQ at least).  There were a couple of interesting suggestions for use of DAV which I hadn't considered.

One which will definately be useful is for use on the 'migrator' project. The process that ends up managing migration from the devel/test/staging environment to the live one could easily use DAV to add/remove files on the live box.  Perfect !!!
