that would be the most ideal solution since you could get the posix
flavored behavior people know and love.  it is somewhat like the case
of writing to a file that is renamed by another client while open --
this currently behaves as expected (atleast in modern clients).  the
only difference here is that the delete should have done a
"sillyrename".  when the last client drops its reference the
sillyrenaming by the server would end and it would actually delete the
file.  or you could just let salvage eventually client up the files.
