Didn't know that distributed authoring is the same as 
"HTTP-as-a-filesystem-replacement". Besides, my opinion on that matter 
is well documented in the davfs2-README-file. You might have looked at 
e.g. 
http://dav.cvs.sourceforge.net/dav/davfs2/README?revision=1.27&view=markup 
before inventing my opinion by your own.
As I understand, making up of offending nonsense like "You are still 
focused on HTTP-as-a-filesystem-replacement." is meant to terminate 
communication. Agreed.
