[Oslc-Automation] Actions 2.0 updates

[John Arwe]

The following is now live:

1: I defined the immediate execution dialog output.  Re-reading it, it 
doesn't give a client any way to know whether or not the action succeeded, 
which "seems like a problem" so I'll probably take another pass at it 
unless others think that's a fine state of affairs ("fire and forget").

2: I updated the resource definition tables to match the text (very little 
to do there - just added httpVersion, IIRC).  I did not generate shapes 
yet, but what's there is sufficient IMO for review purposes.

3: I updated the Appendix B in-line examples to reflect the current text.

Martin: what do you want to do with the contents of the ODT at the end of 
App B?  Has that been effectively superseded by your Auto 2.1 wiki 
content, or does that need revising as well (if so, are you able to make 
the revisions)?

I *did not* deal with the fixed body/auto request change, since I liked 
Martin's "what's wrong with 201 on FB then?" reaction and I want a bit 
more time to consider it.  Given that it's really all about how to write 
the normative text rather than changing intent, I'm unafraid to get some 
reviews started (and I have some folks I'm going to push it to on Wed).

I *did not* add examples (yet) for the other interaction patterns.  Most 
people are interested in "mainline" ones AutoReq and empty body, so with 
those covered already plus a "here's how you mix them together" example, I 
think reviews should proceed.
I *did not* create a core vocabulary revision yet.  I found a couple of 
things that bug me a whit (ala the ParameterInstance question), and 
depending on how those shake out the core changes would change.  I think 
fleshing out the examples will make it obvious what I saw (what I found 
jumped out when I wrote down all the IPs on 1 page) and provide a more 
concrete starting point for discussing what (if any) changes we feel are 
necessary.


Best Regards, John
