This is true for versions prior to CF MX. For those versions, you should use the SCOPE attribute. Sean's point is only applicable to CF MX, in which you only lock to prevent logical errors - in that case, you want your lock to be as "small" as possible in its scope, and using the NAME attribute allows you to do that.
