[Oslc-Automation] Reusing Cm's Actions for teardown/operations

[John Arwe]

One of my comments to the proposers, in my occasional role as peanut 
gallery Core member, was the RPC-ish nature of the example.
I suggested that it should just be a naked POST (no parameters); if a URI 
context is needed, the implementation can handle that transparently to the 
client via mechanisms like encoding it as a URI query parameter *within* 
the (opaque, to clients) action URI.  Steve S seemed to agree, but I think 
revision of those pages is bottlenecked behind Sam P's paternity leave.
The latter I think aligns exactly with what we discussed in terms of 
:teardown on Result resources.  I realize it needs an example probably for 
anyone else to follow it, which is one thing I'm trying to get cranked out 
this week.

Best Regards, John

Having had another look at CM's Action resources, [1] I don't think they 
would be suitable for the use that we're discussing, as they define that 
to execute them you POST to the URL (resource) that is contained in the 
property on the resource that will be affected by the action, including 
the URI of that resource in the POST body. 

While in theory we could use this approach, it doesn't reflect what we've 
been discussing so far. 
Does anyone feel strongly that we should try and reuse this? I don't. 

Martin
