Domino as XML Documents09:37:27 AM

Richard and Brian had their take on Domino documents as XML. In my comment to Brian's post I suggested to use webDAV to achieve that today. Using webDAV Domino databases and folders could be displayed as folders (not so sure about views) and Domino documents as XML documents. webDAV comes with support for access control, so Domino's security (readers/authors/acl) would be in force. You could even use filters (a.k.a. XSLT transformations), so the XML could be domain specific rather than raw XML.
A prove of concept servlet doesn't seem too much magic. What would one do with such a capability?

Thanks for the reminder about WebDAV. I've been mourning the loss of DNFS for a while, and didn't realize WebDAV had go to the point where it could do folders and docs. If so, it's an under-appreciated feature.
