Just did that internally and got the following answer 
from Dan Connolly:

"Abstract
Avoiding the lost update problem has been a notorious challenge when
editing documents remotely on the Web using HTTP/1.0. While WebDAV
provides an extended set of services for editing the Web, HTTP/1.1
provides a minimal set of hooks for avoiding the lost problem by
detecting when versions have changed so that changes aren't lost in the
editing process. While simple, these hooks are fundamental to editing
the Web using HTTP/1.1 and are needed in Webdav as well."

I could take or leave WebDAV per se, but the parts of HTTP that are
useful for collaborative editing are often referred to as
WebDAV.

Hope that helps.
