Perhaps more to the point, the issue is irrelevant because it deals with a server-side implementation instruction rather than interoperability between client and server. The client should be relying on the answers it gets back from the server, not on an obscure requirement on how to implement locks within the server. Regardless of how the server implements those locks, it will respond with success or fail such that the client will be informed whether or not it needed the lock token. The client never needs to know whether the URI corresponds to a binding, so adding bind-specific requirements merely obfuscates the protocol. ....Roy
