Well. If not using this term, how do you distinguish between the 
resources that are actually locked, and the URLs that are protected? So 
for instance, with a

/a/b

being lcoked (through a LOCK request on /a/b), how do you describe the 
fact that the URL is protected by the lock (that is, you'll need a 
lock-token to MOVE /a itself)?

Yes, we do, and of course we implement the model we discuss.
