Sweet! That is really nice... Also, it would be prudent to point out that we aren't *just* talking about WebDAV methods. It should be quite possible to experiment and try out new HTTP methods. HTTP is explicitly defined to allow arbitrary methods (especially for experimenting prior to an RFC, as new RFCs are released, vendor specific, or just plain ol' having fun).
