Right... but how does it know about images that it does not already 
reference? If I want to add a new image to a page in DreamWeaver, and 
the image is in the image gallery, how do I get it? Is there a way to 
point DreamWeaver's image insertion code to a place on the DAV server? 
That would be cool....

It seems that my pessimism is gradually being depleted. ;-)
