webdav was one one of the use cases discussed during this past monday's conf call. Altho, strictly speaking, it may not sound like a "non-browser, non-web application" (since it runs over http), the clients are often something other than a web browser.

During the call, it was noted that the apache plugin mod_dav works with shibboleth.

The next problem was finding a client that could provide the appropriate SAML assertions....

Here's some info about the WEBDAV support built into OS X....

this functionality is available via the Mac FINDER. However, based on this note from Apple, it appears that the core functionality may be built into Darwin, the open source system that OS X is built on...... check out the man page for mount_webdav

so.... what would a use case for this look like?

Jay,
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/html/mount_webdav.8.html
Darwin man pages available for the mount_webdav open source command line tool which shows that darwin has the webdav mount capabilities.
They can browse the Darwin code at
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/index.html
More specifically, the WebDAV file system section:
