Somewhat.  The very beginning of section 9.9 of 2518bis says
"The MOVE operation on a non-collection resource is the logical
equivalent of a copy (COPY), followed by consistency maintenance
processing, followed by a delete of the source, where all three
actions are performed in a single operation"

which might imply that one does not require the locktoken.

But the bind draft is pretty clear that REBIND and BIND require the
locktoken.  This would imply that if I implemented MOVE using REBIND,
then MOVE would require the locktoken.

I think that's how I got confused.

Thanks for the clarification.

Cheers,
Tim
