RFC 2518 :-)

There are some implementations out there but the most complete
WebDAV implementation for Python is the implementation in Zope.
Some stuff might be reused but in general it should be rewritten
from scratch.

I also had some thoughts about using libneon in Zope3 however
I have not had a closer look at neon at this check (hopefully
checking libneon over Easter).
