When dynamic content looks static

Still preoccupied with multiple CMS endeavors, I recently found something related to my dream of an integration between MovableType and Contribute.

In Authoring Content with WebDAV and FTP, Jeffrey Shell illustrates how a dynamic system can fake the behavior of an FTP or WebDAV server to make an editor such as Contribute believe that it is talking to a plain old filesystem.

This is a slightly different idea than what I had in mind, however it fills an interesting void. Nothing shall get in my way against WYSIFUC ;-).
