After all your compression benchmarking, it must be frustrating to be
forced to expand your data by a third!

At first, I thought to myself, "Thank goodness this is for XML only,
which is really only an occasional interchange format. The real DAV
communications will someday send actual vcdiff or svndiff data over
the wire."

But now I just realized that the DAV is still HTTP messages -- does
this mean we're stuck base64'ing *all* binary data, even in Subversion
1.0, forever and ever?
