Re: [Specifications] Actions with explicit target

> Since property names should describe meaning of the relation we could even consider names like *handledWith* (instead of *request*)

I quite like *handledWith*. I'm not a native speaker but *handledBy* sounds slightly better to me. Perhaps *executedBy* / *executableBy* or something similar would be even more intuitive.

> and *affords* (instead of *action*).

I know that the term affordance is en vogue in API circles but I have yet to find a person outside this small community to understand it :-)

>  Also if we separate actions from handlers (operations). Resources would most likely reference actions directly via action / affords and possibly not reference handlers directly via operation

That would require developers to spell out the same URL twice, right? I guess having a few examples (perhaps in a separate markdown file for now) would help to move this discussion forward. Could you please amend the PR with what you had in mind? Thanks
