Now I see what you mean. Indeed, the alien application can not recognize the
locking mechanics, and I see no workaround to let them recognize it except using
the file system locking.

We could try to track the current file system lock status ( without locking file
) in addition before saving/closing to be sure that nobody has the file already
open. That would also give no 100% guarantee, although it still probably makes
sense to do so. 

I completely agree that the office should be a reliable application ( is there
anybody who would disagree? ). The problem is that we have two scenarios, one
works unreliably with system file locking ( heterogeneous networks ), another
works unreliable with own file locking mechanics ( mixed editors environment ).
Since the first scenario looks to be more important, the own file locking is
integrated.
