The simplest approach would be to adopt most of DAV:basicsearch and just 
to add one specific XPath operator that operates on the infoset of the 
properties, such as:

<D:where xmlns="DAV:">
   <D:xpath test="D:resourcetype/D:collection"/>
</D:where>

to check for collections. The result would be the same as when using the 
DAV:is-collection operator.

Ours isn't (and isn't maintained anymore). But I think Slide-on-Tamino 
offers something sililar.
