[Zope] emacs - DTML minor mode?

Is anyone working on a DTML minor mode for emacs based on the HTML
major mode? If not I think I might take a stab at doing it, then again,
I've never written an emacs extension before so no promises.

If anyone has experience with writing emacs lisp perhaps we could
collaborate on a editing mode for DTML?

I was thinking this could be a nice way to avoid the somewhat tedious
process of editing DTML code in the browser for emacs users by adding
support for inserting the common DTML start/end tags.  Also, some kind of
indenting support for DTML would be nice, though this is a matter of
style.

Someday it would be nice if emacs could interface via WebDAV directly.

Actually, I was thinking it would be nice to have a command-line based
WebDAV client ala the ftp command so that emacs could access WebDAV via
some simple mods to the angeftp mode.  This way you could re-use the
existing python WebDAV client code.
