henri makes some interesting observations about webdav, and how they could be used in cms:

WebDAV could also be used as an interop protocol for exchanging content between different CMS systems. The problem is that there would need to be a common data model for this. Options include adopting DocBook or Zope CMF as the common data model. Having Dublin Core properties for all resources in a common namespace would also be a possibility. HTTP error codes should be used for providing information on failed or succeeded creates and updates. The DeltaV specification also defines an XML format for the body of the error reports (mgd_errstr, etc).

generating webdav views from dynamic cms content will not be without difficulties, but will lift open source cms to a whole different level.
