Hello Toolman,

I am not really keen on content duplication, where extracting content
into webdav properties is already some sort of duplication, meant for
fast searching/retrieving. 

Putting webdav properties back into the xml, is IMHO completely
obsolete: you already have that value, namely in the webdav property,
which you can just retrieve from the document, just as you fetch the
content of the document. For fast searching is serves no purpose.

Also, you have a catch22, because after saving the value into your xml
/document/content/datum, the modificationdate changes again :-) Perhaps
you setting the /datum with some granularity, like on days, so you
wouldn't notice. But, IMO, your heading the wrong way.

I did not look at your code, but quite frankly, I don't think I  will
ever want to do the thing you are doing, for the reasons mentioned
above.

I still do like your input, suggestions, improvements, but I have to be
critical :-) Perhaps my reasons might convince you to attack your issue
by a different approach,

Regards Ard
