I agree.  If the switch were 'off' by default, it might also benefit 
people who are new to the "source vs. rendered" port distinction. 
Instead of destroying code through accidental editing on the rendered 
port, they would be unable to perform WebDAV operations.  Learning to 
turn on the switch (or the source port) is easier and less painful than 
trying to undo mistaken changes to code.

Can't you do that now with multiple -w's?
