I feel it would be nice, but it's not necessary, by analogy with MKCOL on an ordinary collection. No one has claimed that "if you want to suport MKCOL, you need to allow the creation of compound documents in one action". It might be more efficient, but surely it's not crucial? I would be very supportive of efforts to define means of specifying initial contents of collections, e.g. by MIME multipart bodies, or some set of properties. During the discussion I agreed to produce a formal specification for ordered collections, which I will do in my next message.
