Description Doug Davis 2010-11-03 19:36:20 UTC 
Transfer has this policy assertion:

/wst:TransferResource/wst:Resource
    When present, this OPTIONAL parameter provides the QName referencing the Global Element Declaration (GED) or type of this resource. This QName can be used in order to retrieve the schema of the resource. 

What's missing though is linking this assertion with the operations defined
by the spec.  By this I mean, I don't think there's anything in the spec
that mandates that this xsd matches the resource representation.

Proposal:
Add the following text to the above assertion:

If an endpoint uses this parameter then it MUST only accept and transmit
XML representations of the resource that adhere to the schema referenced
by this QName.

If we accept http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11202
then we need to add similar text for that one too.
