My vision of this would me that if inability to create lockfiles

(because technically nothing prevents users).
That appears backwards to me. My take is, software should always go
the safe path by default, and offer the dangerous one only after
explicit consent. So with the infobar idea, that would mean open
read-only, but perhaps provide the option to switch to edit mode while
keeping the filename?
Well - that'd be OK IMO :-)
Maybe with a follow-up warning on saving "you are about to save a file
someone else may have open. Either you or they could lose their changes".
Cheers,
