Actually, there have been jokes in the past about performing Subversion's native 'svnserve' protocol buried in HTTP requests. But maybe it's no longer a joke... if this abstraction happens, then maybe apache could be taught to speak it natively!
Why bother? the native protocol is only for connecting to the light weight svnserver. If you are going to use apache as the server anyhow, then using webdav/deltav as the protocol is the logical choice.

I am interested by a mod_smtp module, just to be able to have http(synchronous) and smtp(asynchronous) possible web service support. it could be easy then to code common module for both protocol and doing web services.
Neat idea. If you are implementing a web service using XML-RPC type communication, sometimes sending the messages asynchronously is beneficial, and smtp is ideal for that.
