I like the idea of naming the flags BLOCK_, as it states the actual intention and removes some of the confusion that is out there in the names that various operating systems use. It will also make implementors work to understand what they need to do rather than just match it to the similar sounding name on the operating system (and possibly have it wrong).
Me too.I am still a little concerned about the specification of only mandatory locking, when there are common server platforms on which mandatory locking is used infrequently, if at all, while advisory locking is commonplace.
