The strongest requirement for globally unique lock tokens comes from looking at the future where there could be multiple WebDAV servers participating in a cooperative cluster. In that case, having globally unique lock tokens would prevent lock token collisions. My original rationale for uniqueness can be found in the archives at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/1997JanMar/0325.html (I found this URL by going to Google http://www.google.com/ and searching on "lock token uniqueness"). - Jim
