Gee, I can't imagine what made you dislike that idea :)

As of 10.5, Apple checks anyway at save time, though maybe it doesn't play well 
with Dropbox.  Look for "NSDocument Checking for Modified Files At Saving Time" 
at

Of course, that's right below the discussion of how they improved safe saving, 
which turned out to actually break saving entirely for BibDesk on AFP volumes.  
I filed a bug on that on 9 Jan 2008 and it's still open.
