Now that I actually tried just that, I am even more curious about just what it 
is that you do with rewriterules.

What I've discovered is that the Multi-Status messages that one gets from the 
server contains absolute paths, that throws most clients off balance if they 
do not match the path the client sent a PROPFIND  about. Rewriting the 
response as well as the request would be somewhat more cumbersome I expect. 
In fact I can't see any obvious way to do that in Apache.

I suppose I could limit the rewriting to GET requests only for my purposes, 
but I suspect most wysiwyg editors would not even try a get for a resource 
PROPFIND had not told it about first.

ps.
I think I am on to a solution to get Dreamweaver working with webdav, but that 
involves making urls relative on save in zope, and using the BASE tag.
More on that later if anyone is interested.
