Which reminds me of yet another locks-and-simplification issue.... RFC-2518 wants LOCK tokens to be universally unique. Isn't it actually sufficient that they be unique relative to the LOCKed resource, kind of along the same lines as entity tags are unique? In fact, as an implementation choice (and imagining the spec didn't explicitly prohibit it), if a server only supported exclusive write LOCKs, couldn't a server choose to trust clients to do the right thing, and use the string "button-button-you've-got-the-button" for every LOCK token issued? -- bill@carpenter.ORG (WJCarpenter) PGP bill@bubblegum.net 0x91865119 38 95 1B 69 C9 C6 3D 25 73 46 32 04 69 D6 ED F3
