No, all namespaces are accessible through DAV.
However, there are a number of properties (ie, metadata), which are
mandatory for DAV.

In non native mode, Slide will dynamically generate appropriate values for
those that don't exist to ensure that DAV access still works. For example,
if you do a propfind / allprop on an object which doesn't have any metadata,
it will generate values for properties : creationdate, displayname,
getcontentlanguage ...
In native mode, Slide assumes all the necessary properties exist of each
revision of each object of the namespace, except on the root object.
Of course, native mode is MUCH faster.
