In the version of COLLATE I did you had variations on locales (asc/desc, case (in)sensetive) which could be selected. So you could make COLLATE CASE_INSENSITIVE actually just modify the existing collation. That said, this is no more of a deal than that text also has a default collation. You talk about "the database's default collation" but with proper collation support that statement is meaningless. A database has no collation, only types, expressions and columns do.
