Any rationale other than wanting to avoid the XML marshalling? I feel
like it's easier in the long run to maintain support for a text format
than for an ABI.

Really? I understand that with DAV, you can take advantage of
existing HTTP proxies, but apart from that, I don't see where the
bottleneck would be running over ssh. (Assuming you have equivalent
security measures on the HTTP connection(s) you're comparing things
to, of course.)

I thought the goal for running over DAV was compatibility with HTTP
infrastructure (caching proxies, mainly) and other HTTP versioning
applications, not speed.
