Subject: ACID-transaction on a set of files over WebDAV?

Hello,

i search for a standard way (not the proprietary MS methods) to use a ACID-transaction on a set of files over WebDAV.

Like 

start TA

 get file a

 get file b

 put file a 

 put file b

end TA.

My idea was (like in Subversion documentation or in the WebDAV book from Lisa Dusseault), to use the DeltaV resource type activity with server-side workspace, to group changes together to a single transaction. 

Is this the right way to use transaction over WebDAV?

Is there any standard implementation for that? 

Is there a spec/papers for transactions over WebDAV?

Thank you for your Help.

Best regards

Martin
