Sounds reasonable, though I'm personally not sure why we would  
support anything but legacy (Latin1) and UTF-8.

Its not really hard. But it would be really nice (but no initial  
requirement) if it would work efficiently with large (file) uploads  
by streaming them to a mapped file. There is a special NSData object  
for that, which is in fact used in the simple parser for WebDAV PUT,  
which is why it is recommended for ZideStore.
