Is this really necessary? Metadata could be also dealed with 
seperately. Locking/unlocking can be bound to document lock/unlock on 
the server. A seperate request to open/save would be needed though..

<introspection>
   <open url="file.xhtml"/>
     <metadata url="file.rdf">
       <schema url="meta.xsd"/>
     </metadata>
   </open>
</introspection>

Metadata should be covered by schema constraints too.

WDYT?
