Re: [Specifications] Retracting operations (#246)

@inf3rno 

I think you understand the problem correctly.

The thing is, moving toward former solution would break all that currently exists and is based on hydra - it was never supposed to work that way. That's why the latter solution is somehow closer to my heart. There is a third solution -do nothing, let the client fail invoking an operation discovering the issue in runtime (as it is now).

As for the statement that _Webpages just don't serve broken hyperlinks_ - why am I seeing dozens of broken links leading to 404s ? Also, a bookmarked link may become obsolete in time - smart client could discover it with proper tools.

I can also imagine a situation when a resource is of several types causing some operations to be inoperable due to some logic. I know it's a long shot and multiple resource types is nothing easy to work with, but this is RDF world after all and there is nothing that may hold you back in this - retracting operations may be the only solution for that scenario.
