But we're talking about the pre-CHECKOUT state of the *collection*, not 
its member.

Did I? I don't think so, but maybe I'm confused. Can we stick to the 
example that I proposed? Is there something wrong with it?

UNCHECKOUT changes the state of the collection to be checked in, so yes, 
I would claim that operation affects the DAV:checked-in property.

I didn't mean to prevent other discussions, I just want to get things
