ra_dav will be doing checks before the text delta is ever sent, so this
"irony" doesn't really apply.

The most important check is that when a modification is marked for a
particular resource, ra_dav hits the server and says "I want to modify
<this>" and the server will respond at that point to say "that is out of
date. bugger off."
