You mean, to extend the dav_db structure to hold that information? If
that's possible, I suppose the only candidate for filling in that
information is db_open(), who can examine its dav_resource object. But
does the dav_resource object contain the needed information? Or do we
need the request_rec object for that?
(Disclaimer: I could be talking complete nonsense; it's my first time
inside the httpd/mod_dav code.)

Yes. (I checked dav_method_proppatch() in <main/mod_dav.c>.) Why is
this important to know?
