Shouldn't this just be delegated back to some kind of "manage_MKCOL" method 
on the original folder?  (Or is that what you mean by MKCOL_factory?)  The 
default implementation of such a method in ObjectManager could be to make a 
sub-folder.  Specialized containers could override it as they please, since 
I can think of many instances where I would want to have a container create 
a different kind of container for its child containers.

So, if a "null" resource simply delegated this operation back to the 
container it was spawned from, the container could make that decision 
without having to have its own class of null resource.
