OP LOCK4: question about open_to_lock_owner4:lock_seqid

I found this in the ietf archive:
	http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/nfsv4/current/msg01253.html

It is specifically discussing the recovery case, but the basic problem is
that the RFC doesn't tell you if the lock_seqid in the open_to_lock_owner4
case should be incremented when the Lock Op fails, due to an error.

As such, some clients might increment it and I believe a server might want to
accept the retry with a non-zero lock_seqid?
