Lock that reads original data BUT does not honour exclusive locks?

Hi all,
Is there a lock that is similar to NOLOCK hint by not honouring exclusive
locks, BUT reads original (committed) data (no dirty reads) instead?
Pls kindly advise. Help is much appreciated. TQ.Not in SQL Server 2000, but there will be in SQL Server 2005.
