Sure. Every Adobe client uses lock discovery frequently. Uploading
a multi-megabyte file via PUT only to have the server then tell you
your lock is gone generally gives rise to a very bad user experience
:^). So we always try to discover workflow state changes before
doing lengthy operations that expect a certain state.

Hard to know which LNR behavior you're referring to. If you mean
requiring a way to discover that the "URL" you "locked" is still
locked then yes, definitely, see above. If you mean requiring that
such a resource vanish if you unlock without a PUT then no.
