Speaking of which, please make sure to stay compatible with RFC3253, 3.6 
(<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc3253.html#rfc.section.3.6>):

"If a Depth request header is included, the response MUST be a 207 
Multi-Status. The request MUST be applied separately to the collection 
itself and to all members of the collection that satisfy the Depth 
value. The DAV:prop element of a DAV:response for a given resource MUST 
contain the requested report for that resource."

That essentially means that if the response format for Depth:0 is a 
DAV:multistatus, the result for Depth:1 will be many multistatus bodies 
embedded into a multistatus container element.

I guess it's really time to extract the definition of the REPORT method 
from RFC3253, and move it it a separate doc with lots of examples... 
(will start on it soon).
