    Example

          <wiki:CheckLock mode="locked" id="lock">
             <P CLASS="locknote">User '<%=lock.getLocker()%>' has started to edit this page, but has not yet
             saved.  I won't stop you from editing this page anyway, BUT be aware that
             the other person might be quite annoyed.  It would be courteous to wait for his lock
             to expire or until he stops editing the page.  The lock expires in
             <%=lock.getTimeLeft()%> minutes.
             </P>
          </wiki:CheckLock>
