I'll defer to Brian or Bobby on the difficulty of storing collection  
passwords with accounts.

I do have a different question though.  My use of Chandler involves  
me running the desktop client to update my calendar and then sharing  
those calendars via iCal.    I have two iCal scenarios.
1. Julie is using iCal as her calendar at home and I want her to view  
my work calendar so that she knows when I have phone calls scheduled.
2. I subscribe to all my Calendars in iCal because iCal can sync my  
calendars to my phone.

What happens to clients like iCal, etc if we password protect  
collections or if we require accounts in order to access calendar  
collections?
