w/ REST, we could have a command line tool to post files once they've been 
changed.  Not really nessecary, but I can see how REST would be useful to 
edit templates.

Or, we can configure our web server with WebDAV, and use  Cadaver
(http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/), hook authentication so it works with our 
auth system, and provide kind-of-a-virtual path for all templates that can be 
edited with WebDAV.  This is almost kinda sorta like REST, as now it supports 
more verbs that WebDAV clients support (which usually perform file 
transfers).

I believe a lot of web content editors support WebDAV.

KDE's VFS certainly does, and 'kate' is a wonderful editor..
