I'm not so sure about the warning that is shown when an unwritable UMS 
collection is loaded. First of all it seems to me this would belong on a higher 
level, as other collections could be read-only as well. Second, I'm not sure a 
warning is called for. It's not a critical situation. And last, doesn't it 
suffice to show an error when the actual writing failed?
