http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11766

           Summary: Transfer: create/put text is a bit unclear on schema
                    validation
           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

Right now the spec is a bit contorted when it comes to Put and Create.
It talks about using the coming XML (or empty XML) as the new representation
of the resource.  And then in a separate paragraph talks about doing
schema validation.  This could be misread to imply that you MUST update/create
the resource with an invalid representation - or that we have two conflicting
MUSTs.

We need to fix the text to make it clear that the incoming XML
should be checked against the representation's allowable schema(s) and
only be updated if it passes that test (assuming of course schema validation
checking is done at all - which is optional).

a proposal should be coming soon...
