Description

We never got around to adding binary property support over the DAV
interfaces.  If I'm not mistaken, the roadblock here is that property
data is transmitted using XML communications protocols, and you just
don't plunk binary data into XML and hope that it works.  It won't. :-)

We need to find some XML-safe way to transport property values over
the wire (base64 or some other mechanism).
