It doesn't look like that actually allows you to "GET" the unprocessed 
source, just is a way to specify a different URL for the unprocessed source.

If that's the case though, it could be used with the excellent suggestion to 
use virtual-hosting, so the source property for "http://www.foobar.com/x" 
could be "http://dav.foobar.com/x" - and a smart browser/editor could find 
out where to GET the source from.
