That could be an enormous step to bringing the RWW to a wider audience.  I
suspect Azure has many of these features already, again, I'm not a user
there.

A quick web search showed webdav+azure in action

https://support.workspace365.net/hc/en-us/articles/360013051434-Azure-Files-shared-through-WebDav-SSL

I think WebDAV was originally a Microsoft influenced standard

Clearly, they already have websockets in use re live collaboration etc..

for a while
