I have playing with a few options over the last past few days including this 
option. z3c.webdav doesn't quite work the the fact that I want to support 
content / services from the z3c namespace, I would end up with package like 
z3c.webdav.z3cextfile, to distinush it say from z3c.webdav.zopefile. This 
doesn't quite sit right with me.

But I am not going to split up this namespace as I previously suggested, as I 
do take your point that it does get complex.

Thanks for the input,
Michael
