[Oslc-Automation] use of oslc_auto:verdict and consistency

[John Arwe]

I happened to be reviewing draft publications for one of the Automation 
implementations, and discovered an "interesting" use of verdict.  In the 
context of an automation request being used to batch together what would 
otherwise be multiple individual requests, the implementation exposes a 
verdict=failed if at least one encapsulated request fails, and 
(additively!) a verdict=passed if at least one succeeds.
While this surprised me, I see nothing in existing spec or guidance 
suggesting it's a bad idea.  Looking for WG feedback on whether there are 
any strong feelings about crafting guidance in either direction vs 
remaining silent.  I can make sense of it either way now despite my own 
initial allergic reaction to the apparent inconsistency.

Best Regards, John
