Well, in our case, we have properties like "When this template or its 
data is changed, build it to HTML right away (vs. build it when a hit 
comes along)." Of course most tools won't care about this--so I want to 
make an extension for it.

If template metadata needs to be kept in the WebDAV-style properties, 
then we have to extend them in a different way than the rest of the 
Atom protocol is extended. That seems a slight drawback.
