Re: partial locking

[Eliot Lear <lear@cisco.com>]

Should NETCONF impose a write-lock on the data then it shouldn't be 
writable to other applications, be that SNMP, or for that matter the 
CLI.  An error should be returned.  In other words, the lock interface 
needs to be below the external protocol interface.  This can prove 
Challenging in some implementations, but it's still the right thing to 
do.  I'm a little leery (perhaps evena  little LEARy) about attempting 
to codify coherency of this form within the IETF, but I could be 
convinced.  Customers, on the other hand, can codify anything they want 
in their RFPs...
