Abstract:

   The JMAP base protocol ([JMAP-CORE]) provides the Foo/set method for
   creating, updating, and destroying objects.  It offers a single
   concurrency control, the "ifInState" argument, which guards an entire
   object type: if any object of that type has changed, the whole method
   is rejected.

   This extension adds a finer, per-object conditional mechanism.  A
   client may require that an individual update or destroy proceed only
   if the target object still matches a set of expected property values,
   expressed using the JMAP PatchObject already defined for updates.
   This provides optimistic concurrency control scoped to a single
   object — the equivalent of an HTTP "If-Match" precondition — for any
   JMAP data type.

   This extension also defines an optional "atomic" argument that
   applies an entire Foo/set as a single unit: either every change it
   requests takes effect, or none does.  Combined with the per-object
   precondition, this lets a client express a multi-object change that
   is safe only when applied together — such as an atomic rename that
   exchanges two names.
