Yes, your definition is clear, and it is what the Director does.  
However, programming it is much more difficult, especially for the SD 
where you are dealing with physical devices that are locked.  In Apache, 
the Bacula Director, and elsewhere there are not physical devices that 
have to be locked when writing.

Anyway, this is something I would like to see, but someone needs to 
program it ...
