This doesn't look right, from a design cleanliness point of view. Now  
we have, for parameters that are known to refer to an empty selection,  
an error for two of our axes (time, space) and the whole resource for  
two other axes (id, track). If we decide to stick with this (after  
all: I wasn't in the meeting, so who am I to complain:-) we need a  
paragraph with a very good rationale as to why we treat these two  
differently.

I think the "convenience" argument doesn't hold, because the most  
convenient way to get the whole resource is to not specify the axis at  
all (and I don't think we really need a convenient way to get an error message:-) 
.
