I have to ask, did you find something specifically or particularly
unsuitable about the twisted.web2.dav module?  Obviously there is a
place for a DAV server/framework not specific to Twisted (assuming you
believe there is a place for something that isn't specific to Twisted in
any area,) but your original post appears to indicate that this is a
mere implementation detail.  I suspect that there may be some features
that would be difficult if not impossible to implement without closer
integration with the server (such as WebDAV ACLs.)
