One complication in this would be multi-part documents, e.g. books containing multiple chapters, where the chapters are contained in separate files (some of which might be open by other users, and therefore locked to edits). Even finding all the other chapters might be hard, unless the system knew where the book-level file was (which would presumably xinclude the chapters), so it could find where all the chapters are supposed to be.
