RE: [Moderator Action] Questions on Webdav Servers

Fow now, I recommend using 423 (Locked), although we need to add a new
status code, 4xx (Parent Locked).  Though the language is a big unclear,
this is the intent of the discussion in the second paragraph of section 7.5
of RFC 2518 (which states that 423 Locked should be used).

Ummm.  Perhaps I misunderstand, but I don't think dedicating an error
code to parent lock is a great idea.  Note... a URI can also be
"protected" if any child or decendent is locked and I'd guess that
we're not going to have a return code for each of these.  I suspect
that if we're going to specify what was locked, we'll need to come
up with a generic way of specifying what lock(s) is/are causing
the problem.... just stick with a single LOCKED error code.
