[Bug 11210] New: Transfer: Restrictions on advertised xsd

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11210

           Summary: Transfer: Restrictions on advertised xsd
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: PR
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Transfer
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org
        ReportedBy: dug@us.ibm.com
         QAContact: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org


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.
