Are we certain that we don't need/want to discuss TAKETHIS in the 
security section?  I'm not pushing hard for it, I just don't want to 
skip it if we feel its justified.  Of course a malicious client could 
abuse the server in the same fashion with POST or IHAVE and just not 
wait for the initial response, so maybe TAKETHIS isn't all that unique.

I think any discussion of a pre-commit cache or "locking" is strictly an 
implementation issue and outside of the protocol.
