Please forgive me if I'm being dense, but isn't this out of the realm of WebDAV? Although there have been some exceptions when people said a given feature was unimplementable, we've usually said that we are only officially concerned with server behaviors that are exposed to and testable/verifyable by a WebDAV client. If we agree that this is still our philosophy, and that the use of files in an implementation is not visible to a client, then perhaps instead of adding it to the base webdav spec, someone should draft an RFC on this apart from WebDAV that documents and resolves this issue.
