[Bug 8301] New: generating the PutDenied fault

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8301

           Summary: generating the PutDenied fault
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: PR
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Transfer
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org
        ReportedBy: gilbert.pilz@oracle.com

Section 3.2 "Put" contains the following paragraph:

"The replacement representation could contain within it element or attribute
values that are different than their corresponding values in the current
representation. Such changes could affect elements or attributes that, for
whatever reason, the implementation does wish to allow the client to change. An
implementation MAY choose to ignore such elements or attributes, or it MAY
generate a wst:PutDenied fault. See 5 Faults."

Since the term "generate" is defined as "MUST perform some internal logging and
MAY transmit a fault", "MAY generate" is a contradictory clause.

Proposal: "The replacement representation could contain within it element or
attribute values that are different than their corresponding values in the
current representation. Such changes could affect elements or attributes that,
for whatever reason, the implementation does wish to allow the client to
change. An implementation MAY choose to ignore such elements or attributes. If
an implementation does not ignore these elements or attributes, it MUST
generate a wst:PutDenied fault. See 5 Faults."
