Any optional values (elements or attributes) not specified in the Put request message will be set to a resource-specific default value. For default Put this is true - meaning it replaces the entire XML representation. However, when using an extension spec, like ws-fragment, its possible that only part of the resource will be updated. The case that I'm most worried about is one where each property of a resource has a timestamp associated with it. If they use ws-frag then, per the Transfer spec, all of the timestamps for all properties would need to be touched - which isn't really what's expected. Proposal: Change the above text slightly to allow for extensions to define how they modify the resource: Unless otherwise specified by an extension, this operation will replace the entire XML representation of the resource, and any optional values (elements or attributes) not specified in the Put request message will be set to a resource-specific default value. 28602 1 bob 2009-10-20 20:50:40 +0000 resolved as proposed
