I put this out to the community for discussion:

The manage.opensrs.net web interface does not seem to allow users any 
ability to actually change their lock/unlock status, presumably 
because not all resellers offer lock, and OpenSRS doesn't want to 
have folks locking domains that are with resellers that don't offer 
locking.

However... the manage interface CERTAINLY SHOULD have the ability to 
UNLOCK a domain if the domain is locked.

Consider the case where "reseller goes belly-up", or "reseller has a 
password-protected web interface and revokes the domain-holder's 
access". In both of those cases, the domain-holder needs to have the 
ability, independent of the reseller in question, to free up their 
domain to move it elsewhere.

Also, I noticed that you can't change the nameservers under a domain 
if it is in the locked state? Was this mentioned somewhere I didn't 
notice?  I thought all locking did was prevent "domain slamming", not 
also prevent NS changes.
