   3.6.2 DAV:checkin-policy
   ...
   2) The DTD allows for ANY element as a checkin-policy.  The spec should 
   state what a server should do if it does not support the checkin policy,
   and  which are mandatory.

I'd be inclined to say that a server MUST fail an attempt to set
a checkin-policy that cannot be provided for that working resource
(one reason for which would be that the server does not support
that checkin policy at all).

If nobody disagrees, I'll make this update to the protocol.

Cheers,
Geoff
