I haven't really thought about it until now but it should fit into the 
proposal, but I am hoping it goes something like this. I think I need to play 
with some test implementation just to make sure.

PROPFIND and PROPPATCH will know if a property is dead or not, considering 
that they are responsible for finding the correct namespace utility, so they 
could ask for standard dead namespace management utility. This utility can 
then generate on the fly a dead WebDAV widget and probable a dead property 
field and then everything continues has normal. I hope :-)

To be honest I was a bit caught up in all the WebDAV namespace / specs that I 
forgot about dead properties until sometime early this week. But I am 
confident that I can get something alone these lines working without to much 
trouble.
