[oslc-core] oslc:totalSize Clarification

[Arthur Ryman]

Steve,

The client only can parse the result and determine thisCount if the server 
is following the guideline, but that's just a SHOULD.

-1 for oslc:thisCount. 

A client has a way to parse and determine what the "this count" is if 
desired.  Adding it to the response, just adds more work for the service 
provider and also gives them a chance to get it wrong (conflict with what 
the actual response format has).

Thanks,
