Of the above, I think 3 is the preferred approach - create a new tramp 
backend for webdav (probably the closest current implementation to 
follow is tramp-smb.el, as most other tramp protocols involve shell access).

url-dav.el, improving as necessary?  It would be good to have completely 
native Emacs access to webdav without relying on external programs that 
in most cases will not be installed on the user's system already.
