I agree with this. We've already started down the path of implementing our own
more efficient protocol with HTTPv2. While I think we should limit where we
deviate, if there's a good reason then we should do so. The only alternative
in my opinion is to start writing RFCs to update DAV. Maybe that's a good
thing to do anyway. But at this point I doubt there's much interest in DAV let
alone DeltaV.
The changes we've made so far with HTTPv2 were to save round trips. While
collapsing LOCK requests into a single request wouldn't be as beneficial as the
HTTPv2 changes I don't really see a reason to say we shouldn't do this if
someone wants to do the work.
