Julian: I agree with you, but did you think Dan was suggesting otherwise, or were you just agreeing with Dan's statement (or at least, with the "yes, it's OK" part)? I am assuming that you were not disagreeing with Dan, since I don't believe he suggests anything that would make ETag behavior depend on whether the resource was locked or not. Cheers, Geoff
