Okay, so far.

I think a new heading start's from this point. For instance "LDP and
WebDAV Relationship" .

Okay.

The statement above is confusing.

You might consider:

For example, there are live LDP containers in the wild, identified by
Linked Data URIs, that can also function as WebDAV endpoints i.e.,
mountable by any WebDAV compliant User Agent.
