That's what spurred the idea.

It might be. Right now, however, the formulator shows up as a collection of 
elements through DAV. When I mount using davfs, it is a directory, with a 
bunch of files (one for each element).

I'm not sure how you would make formulator look like a folder w/ children in 
the ZMI, but look like a file through DAV.
