[Bug 6549] New: RT - Create focused on resource fragments

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6549

           Summary: RT - Create focused on resource fragments
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: FPWD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ResourceTransfer
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org
        ReportedBy: geoffbu@microsoft.com


The create operation assumes that the sender wants to pass fragments of the
state of the resource to be created and that all dialects will follow this
pattern. This seems overly restrictive. A create could be driven by a set of
instructions that are very different from the resource representation. For
example, I might want a CREATE dialect that takes an EPR to an existing
resource and creates a new one just like the existing one.  This should be
allowed.

It seems that WSRT currently contradicts itself wrt to Create. 
WS-RT outlines the Create factory model and points out that:
"... the information required to create a resource may *markedly differ* from
the initial representation (the value as realized by a subsequent "Get"
operation)."  
However, WS-RT goes on to tightly bind the fragments to the "resource
representation" and ignores the possibility of different input.
