Are you sure? I understand they're a valid, and registered, URI
scheme, but my impression was that they were only used for XML
namespacing, and no other purpose.
(Actually, I thought XML namespaces were all URIs, but I'm no expert
on XML.)
RFC2518, which defines it, certainly doesn't appear to mandate its
use as anything but a namespace.
WebDAV isn't something I claim any expertise on, however, so I'll
happily stand corrected, and I'm deeply unclear on what RFC2518
section 18 means in the paragraph about DAV:creationdate - is this a
URL to the creationdate property of the current resource? (Implying
"dav" is at best a URL at resource scope, akin to "cid" with email
messages.)
