(Sorry to bring this up so late in the thread)

Also, see Greg Stein's message from the last go-round on this explaining
why an "at-the-end" solution would not work with DAV:

    http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svn/archive-2003-06/0166.shtml

The short summary is that "at-the-end" doesn't work with DAV due to
complications with collections and PROPFIND. If you want your URL format to
support DAV (and you want revisions to be DAV resources), it will have to
be "in-the-middle" in some way.
