issue 7774 proposal

Yves and I chatted a bit and here's the proposal we came up with to solve 
7774 [1]:

1) changed transfer's put from:
     This specification defines one Web service operation (Put) for 
updating a resource by providing a replacement representation. 
to:
     This specification defines one Web service operation (Put) for 
updating a resource.

2) change transfer's put from:
    A Put request MUST be targeted at the resource whose representation is 
desired to be replaced,
to:
    A Put request MUST be targeted at the resource whose representation is 
desired to be replaced or updated,

3) follow Create's lead by adding this to the end of the [Body]/wst:Put 
description:
     The first child element, if present, MUST be the literal resource 
representation or other instructions for updating the resource.

The basic idea is to make it clear, in transfer, that Put supports the 
notion of an instruction and not just a complete representation 
replacement.
