WS-Fragment.Put has the following: [Body]/wst:Put/wsf:Fragment/wsf:Value This OPTIONAL element contains the fragment resource representation corresponding to the subset of the resource identified by the wsf:Expression element. It is not clear to what should happen to any optional/missing bits of XML not included within this Value. For example, are any snippets of XML currently present left unchanged? Removed? Defaulted to some resource-specific value? We should follow the pattern established in Transfer, where it says: Any optional values (elements or attributes) not specified in the Put request message will be set to a resource-specific default value. Proposal: Add the following sentence to the end of the paragraph referenced above: When @Mode is 'Insert' or 'Replace', any optional values (element or attributes) within this subset that are not specified in the wsf:Value element will be set to a resource-specific default value.
