Notice: I have cross-posted this into the dav-dev
list where it more aptly belongs.
mod_dav was designed assuming it owns all resources
in its repository... whether that repository is
a file-system (like the out-of-the-box version of
mod_dav & mod_dav_fs), or whether that repository
is a data-base (like catacomb: http://www.webdav.org/catacomb/).
mod_dav does not provide authentication, authorization,
or access control.
