No, it's a little bit more subtle. See

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2001JulSep/0107.html

The term *lock-null resource* will disappear in the spec. The
definition of the LOCK method will allow you to lock an
*unmapped* resource (non-existing resource), which behaves
just like a zero length plain resource.

See the mail from the given link. That's the propsal the
dist-auth list agreed upon.
