okay, you're right.
abstraction might have been the wrong term for what I meant, actually
I'm just extending parts of the servlet-api to provide convenient
access to standard WebDAV-features (like javax.servlet.http.* extends
the generic servlet-api to provide convenient access to standard HTTP
functionality).
anyway, I'll look if anything worthwhile comes out of this, and might
send the best of it to this list for discussion if that's okay.
