But do you also want this to be the case for non-collection resources?
Perhaps you mean "if a URI that ends in a trailing slash identifies a
DAV-compliant collection resource, then the same URI with the trailing
slash removed SHOULD identify the same resource." I would actually go
for MUST in that case, although such a change would break some existing
servers.
