I've been thinking about the exchange we've had about "distributed editing vs reinventing file system protocol", and trying to extract from it: * Which requirements for distributed editing can NOT be met by a file system protocol? * Are those requirements explicitly described in the "Requirements on HTTP for Distributed Editing" (an unfortunate title). I think that most of the requirements are 'information hiding' rather than 'capabilities' requirements (e.g., "clients need not be aware of server's locking scheme in order to add a new version" is an information hiding requirement.)
