Ah, that's a tough one; the situation there is, IIRC, that DAV: was an 
invalid URI according to the older URI spec grammar.  The newer URI RFC 
(3986) was updated to allow DAV: as a valid URI; I had a brief word with 
Daniel Veillard and he said that libxml2 has been updated to handle that 
(not sure if that code has been released yet, though).
