RE: lock and access control lists on (working) versions

As Tim surmised, the answer to (1) is in fact "yes".
Each version is a separate resource, and each resource
can have its own distinct access control list.

Cheers,
Geoff

Yes.  Working resources have distinct server-defined URLs.  They can be
locked using their URLs just like any other resource.

Yep.
