This issue has been raised in
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27757#c16:

"I have a question here - currently the token is session-based, but if no
longer
bind the token to the target page (edit|delete|protect|move) or the user
(block|unblock), aren't we losing possibility of ever introducing a
notification/conflict resolution/etc. mechanism to notify ("someone is working
on this right now") - kind of "soft advisory locking" on an object?

FlaggedRevs is trying to do this to show that somebody is reviewing the page
right now."

There is also a comment in the code review from Anomie:

"But I think we really need to take a step back and decide just what the model
for each kind of token really is, and make it available from the place where it
makes the most sense. For example, the token for action=edit currently depends
just on the user/session. But do we want to basically "reserve the right" to
make it depend on the page being edited? If so, it should stay in prop=info and
not be added here; if not, add it here *and* deprecate it in prop=info."

I think this should be addressed/discussed before committing this change.
