Yes, I would want the statement to hold, independent of what kind of resource (if any) is currently identified by that URI. I also would prefer a MUST over a SHOULD.

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. dan
