I'm the one that made the proposal, but now I think we should 
defer work on partial locks because of the complexity.  IMO
it is too difficult to implement partial locks across multiple
access mechanisms (e.g., CLI, XML, SNMP) using an XML expression
for the lock point.  This requires translation mechanisms between
XML and other types of data models which are beyond the scope
of this standardization effort (or maybe any effort).
