It's not done yet, but we've started discussing it. The interfaces
themselves should be rather simple.

Yes, you can do that. Just add additional scope elements.
The mapping algorithm will probably be rewritten to be more powerful and
faster, but the basic principles shouldn't change.

already ?
Not yet. We could write a WebDAV / Delta V store, but that would require a
significant amount of work. Since some features are still missing in the
core and the WebDAV support, I'm focused on making some progress on that
first. Other people could volunteer to work on some additional stores, like
Christopher, who plans to be doing some work on a CVS store.
