Speaking of which, why not require a HEAD request to check for changes,

change) instead?
Would you check for changes before you start typing your changes, or only
before you try to PUT your changes?
I would check before (if possible; maybe I wouldn't be online at that
point of time), but in the absence of locking, that wouldn't guarantee
that the resource isn't changed in the meantime before I'm finished typing.
Even if it wasn't, there's no guarantee that somebody else will
overwrite it after I'm done, see for instance the description in
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2518.html#rfc.section.6.7>.
