issue 7014: more detailed proposal

Transfer currently says:

[Body]/wst:Create@ContentDescription
    When this OPTIONAL attribute is present it conveys additional 
information that can be used by the service to process this message. If 
the service can determine how to process the message it MAY choose to 
ignore this attribute, even if the URI provided is not known. However, if 
the service needs this information, for example to determine if the child 
elements of the wst:Create are the literal resource representation or an 
instruction, but the attribute is not present or the URI is not known, 
then the service MUST generate an invalidContentDescription fault. There 
is no default value. 

Proposal: 
  add the following paragraph after the above:

  This specification defines one ContentDescription URI, 
http://.../ContentDescription/Literal, which can be used to convey to the 
service that the children of the wst:Create element are not instructions 
but rather are to be taken as the literal resource representation of the 
new resource.

thanks
