+ (description
+ "The @acronym{WebDAV, Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning} extension
+to the HTTP protocol defines a standard way to author resources on a remote Web
+server. Davfs2 exposes such resources as a typical filesystem which can be used
+by standard applications with no built-in support for WebDAV, such as the GNU
+coreutils (@command{cp}, @command{mv}, etc.) or a graphical word processor.
+
+Davfs2 works with most WebDAV servers with no or little configuration. It
+supports TLS (HTTPS), HTTP proxies, HTTP basic and digest authentication, and
+client certificates. It performs extensive caching to avoid unnecessary network
+traffic, stay responsive even over slow or unreliable connections, and prevent
+data loss. It aims to make use by unprivileged users as easy and secure as
+possible.
+
+However, davfs2 is not a full-featured WebDAV client. The file system interface
+and the WebDAV protocol are quite different. Translating between the two is not
+always possible.")
