That may be the intent, but it breaks the protocol. The URI returned as lock
token

- must be a legal URI (this one isn't, because it doesn't follow the
syntactic rules for the opaquelocktoken scheme)

- must identity the lock.

Prevention of other principals (ab)using the lock token is a completely
separate issue that needs to be treated somewhere else.
