> Currently the web dav library uses Xerces and DOM to parse and create XML data. This mechanism is well-known but has two major issues: It is slow and it has a big memory footprint. In order to solve these two issues, I suggest to drop the use of the W3C DOM in webdav in favor of something easier and more straight forward to use.
> One candidate could be (out of my head and based on my bias towards KXml) KDOM. See also http://www.kxml.org.ww
