Take a look at the ETag (RFC2616 14.19)and If-Match (14.24). In the
request, you would get back an ETag value (which might be the timestamp
of the resource, some GUID, etc.) When PUTting the updated resource,
you use If-Match. If the resource has been updated in the interim (and
therefore has a new ETag), then you get back a 412 "Precondition Failed"
(10.4.13) response.

I'm not sure that I would equate a "transaction resource" to a "lockfile
document".
