--- Comment #5 from Timur <gtimur at gmail.com> ---
In general, I'm not in favor of "change well-known existing func. to become
vice-verse, because some find it better" as others prefer it like it is. 
I don't see a benefit in "mark cells and enter password to protect them" over
"mark cells as unprotected and enter pass to protect sheet".
Note: unprotecting cells is possible via Format or via Cell Styles with
creating Unnprotected style.

If we need to unprotect just a few cells and keep other protected, current was
is better. 
If we need to protect just a few cells and leave other unprotected (and if it's
so often that simple Ctrl+A and unprotect is tedious to use), we my consider
*an option* that Cell Protection is left checked for Protected. I guess it
could go to Options-Calc-Defaults and be called 'Cell protection Protected
status for new sheet' with default value checked.
Heiko, please comment and confirm for that or close as WontFix for general
change.
