Thanks for the reference. It raises a couple of extra questions.
1. The text suggests the resource is NOT a collection. However this is how it appears in IE Web Folders. 2. Once unlocked, the text says the resource returns to the NULL state. What does this mean in practice? Should it still appear as a node in SLIDE? Again, IE continues to show the resource as a directory, but won't allow it to have members, presumably because it doesn't think its a collection.
