(in personal voice, not chair voice)

I think it's probably best to use another namespace.
- I don't like DAV: to begin with :)
- This isn't a WG doc
- Given those two, I wouldn't want to set a precedent for others to go 
throwing stuff into DAV:

We've had the same problem with the jabber: namespaces in the XMPP 
space.  It's taken us a long time to get everyone to use namespace 
URI's that they actually control in their protocols, but it's been well 
worth the effort in terms of being able to do many more extensions in 
parallel.
