Comment:

 +1 for returning the most appropriate status code when possible. The patch
 works as expected. I like the limited scope, but curious what leads think.

 TIL the 423 status code is meant for WebDAV. MDN has this note:

 > Note: The ability to lock a resource to prevent conflicts is specific to
 some WebDAV servers. Browsers accessing web pages will never encounter
 this status code; in the erroneous cases it happens, they will handle it
 as a generic 400 status code.

 US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/423

 Maybe those should be 400 instead.
