Jeremy's collection concept had the same motivation as the range concept: to lower requirement on container types.

However, Jeremy's concept talk about member functions and still mentions a reference type that behaves like a normal reference, but
which
doesn't have to be it. In the range concepts that is all gone.

So my personal feeling is that collection.html is redundant now.
