Tapestry does this with all the content records -- they're flagged in the db as "in use by user [x] with privelegdes [RWED]" -- if another user has a record open with more than R privilege, other users get only R privilege, regardless of their role or permissions, until the first user closes the record. Let me know if you'd like a more thorough explanation of how it's accomplished. S.
