At least with mod_dav users, I think it's not been implemented yet because you don't *need* the source property to be able to author dynamic resources, since you can say to your users "use URL 'A' for authoring and URL 'B' for browsing". People may be used to that anyway: "use this ftp:// URL for authoring, and this http:// one browsing". Zope's DAV support does (or did) include support for the source property, although, according to this thread, not in a useful form: http://mailman.lyra.org/pipermail/cadaver/2001-September/000231.html joe
