Ah, I think I see what Julian is saying.

If RFC2518bis expects a LOCK on a NULL resource to be handled as a
0-byte PUT, then I guess a 2518bis-conformant client *should* expect to
see the object listed in the parent. It's no longer a NULL resource.

(It sure would be nice to be able to read 2518bis! I can't find any
link to it on www.webdav.org, nor does a google search bring it up. Is
it some secret thing still?)
