1- I like the general idea;
2- such a feature is useful;
3- implying that an xml payload must return a webdav response can
limit its adoption or foster non-compliant implementation (Eg. xml
requests returning non-webdav responses). This will happen unless  we
revise https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5323, which is widely deployed.
While I'm no fan of xml, this is quite a limitation.

```
for backwards compatibility with existing WebDAV
   implementations, SEARCH requests that use the text/xml or
   application/xml content types MUST be processed per the requirements
   established by [RFC5323].
```

If somebody prefer to use an alternative method name, we could pick
QUERY or FIND https://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/wiki/Proposal_for_HTTP_QUERY_Verb
Once we agree on the semantics, the name can be anything.

My2¢,
