Windows XP can access WebDAV folders "as if" they were local folders.

Imagine that you can edit your TS-template with your regular Windows
text editor and just save it through WebDAV to your TYPO3-site and TYPO3
will take care to store it in the database at the correct position,
updating tstamp, clear FE-caches, etc.

Imagine you copying photos between your local folder and a WebDAV folder
and the photo is automatically indexed in DAM because TYPO3 will handle
the upload?

I think there are great possibilities here if TYPO3 itself would handle
WebDAV requests. Its not very much that TYPO3 has to do to be a "WebDAV"
server: It just has to handle two HTTP commands: "GET /webdav/..." and
"PUT /webdav/...".
