issue 6405: updated proposal

Per our talks yesterday.... here's the new pseudo schema:

  <mex:GetMetadata ?>
    (<mex:Dialect>xs:anyURI</mex:Dialect>
      (<mex:Identifier>xs:anyURI</mex:Identifier>)?
      (<mex:Format>xs:anyURI</mex:Format>)*
    )?
    (<mex:Format> xs:anyURI </mex:Format>)*
  </mex:GetMetadata>

And the proposed set of changes are:
- define the default, when the mex:Format element is missing, as 'any'
- define a new URI for 'any' so people can be explicit if they want
- define a new URI for 'all' - meaning send back all metadata that is 
allowed to be sent back
- clarify that 'skip' means that if a service is unable to send back the 
requested format then no metadata section will be sent back for that 
format

thanks
