But would this work if one intended to reserve a URL to create a collection? Albert is of course right. So I can no longer live with Jim's proposal (:-). So I'm back to: - return a 404 if there is no resource to LOCK, - let the client create a "null" instance of what it wants there, - then the client locks that null instance and it is off and running.
