I really like that it gets along without XML. I don't like that it ends with a lot of new methods and headers.
Unrelated: Have you ever looked into the 9P protocol? I'd wonder if one can tunnel that through http, too.

Regarding 9P, SpockFS is a fork of the 9spock project (unfortunately my company still did not released the sources, albeit the github repository is opened), and personally i think 9p is the currently best protocol available for sharing filesystems. Unfortunately the linux client is a bit weak as it does not manage disconnections/reconnections (once you lose the connection with the server you have to remount it)
