The next revision of RFC 2518 will change the defined behaviour of lock-null resources in the following manner:
http://www.webdav.org/wg/rfcdev/issues.htm item 80 LOCK on a non-existing URL (where the collection parent exists) will create a locked, empty plain resource. The resource cannot be changed into a collection. When the lock expires, the resource will stay. //Stefan Hint: the MS WebFolder shows everything as a collection where the DAV:resourcetype property is non-empty. Am Mittwoch den, 4.
