Yes, and that is a fact I was also trying to demonstrate. The only
reason you don't have LDP Container mounting as part of Windows, Mac OS
X, Linux etc.. is because none of the vendors (or their developer
communities) associated with these operating systems have picked up on
LDP. Currently, they support WebDAV hence their ability to mount WebDAV
Collections (which are like LDP Containers; specifically the LDP
Composite Container or Folder).

That wasn't my intention, in fact, quite the contrary.

I am an implementer (not speculator) of both standards. Mounting is
simply something you can do with either, as we already demonstrate in
our products.
