Julian is correct. Nothing in the binding draft allows a locked resource to be modified by a client that does not hold the token for that locked resource. If anyone believes otherwise, I would appreciate it if they could raise the issue on the mailing list by identifying the section of the draft that they believe makes this statement, so we can add whatever wording is necessary to avoid anyone else misunderstanding the spec in this way. Note: we carefully track all issues with the binding spec, but (since none of us have reliable telepathic powers :-), we can only track and respond to issues that have been explicitly raised on the mailing list.
