<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4918.html#rfc.section.21.1>:

"Creation of identifiers in the "DAV:" namespace is controlled by the IETF."

So it's not relevant whether something is generic. What's important is 
that there's IETF consensus to add new names to the namespace.

I'm not saying this can't be the case here, but I think the proper way 
would be to start with a proposal in a custom namespace, and then switch 
to the DAV: namespace once it's clear that consensus has been achieved.
