For collections, this doesn't work properly with your/Alan's proposal for static depth locking. If I'm creating a collection, I do LOCK (404), MKCOL, LOCK--but this LOCK only locks the resources that are there now (i.e., none). So anybody else is free to come along and add new resources, and my lock means nothing. For collections that are meant to model compound documents or some such, where the entire state of the collection needs to be treated as a unit, this is a Bad Thing. -- /==============================================================\ |John Stracke | http://www.ecal.com |My opinions are my own.| |Chief Scientist |=============================================| |eCal Corp. |Illiterate?
