[AFS3-std] advisory "open"/"close" RPC?

[Matthew Andrews]

Do you suppose that something like this could be used to acquire a key 
that could be used to access the file untill the corresponding close 
call? I'm thinking about something that could be used to implement 
writebehind behavior safely(the cachemanager could continue to flush out 
changes to the server even after the users tokens expire.)?
