All other children SHOULD be ignored by the service. If this element does not contain any children then the resource will be created using default values. - - - - - - This is a bit ambiguous because its not clear how the service knows whether or not the child of Create is the actual representation, a list of instructions or something else. There needs to be a very clear flag to indicate what's in the Create element. Proposal: Add a 'Dialect' attribute - not unlike the Mode attribute that we see on the Delivery element in eventing - that explicitly tells the service how to interpret the children of the Create element. <wst:Create Dialect="xs:anyURI"? ...> xs:any * </wst:Create> Define a "http://.../ws-t/XMLRepresentation" dialect/uri and make the absence of a Dialect attribute default to this. 24895 1 bob 2009-04-21 20:08:00 +0000 discussed on 2009-04-21 (Action-59) 25207 2 bob 2009-05-19 20:51:33 +0000 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2009May/0010.html 25467 3 dug 2009-06-04 23:24:28 +0000 Latest proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2009Jun/0009.html 25528 4 bob 2009-06-09 19:00:33 +0000 OPTIONAL Hint that describes the content, CONTENT DESCRIPTION. If the service needs a hint and the CONTENT DESCRIPTION is not known, then service MUST generate a fault (to be defined). If the service does not need a hint then may ignore the CONTENT DESCRIPTION and MAY NOT generate a fault. Type(CONTENT DESCRIPTION) = xs:anyURI resolved as a directional decision on 2009-06-09 25537 5 bob 2009-06-10 20:07:04 +0000 detailed proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2009Jun/att-0031/wst-6712.html 25538 6 bob 2009-06-10 20:30:08 +0000 When this OPTIONAL attribute is present it conveys additional information that can be used by the service to process this message. If the service can determine how to process the message it MAY choose to ignore this attribute, even if the URI provided is not known. However, if the service needs this information, for example to determine if the child elements of the wst:Create are the literal resource representation or an instruction, but the attribute is not present or the URI is not known, then the service MUST generate an invalidContentDescription fault. There is no default value. n.b. modify fault to correspond with this language
