Response to call for comments: "application packag", "_uri", and "DP example"

[Martin P Pain <martinpain@uk.ibm.com>]

1. In section 1.3 Example, it talks about
"application package". Is this the same thing as a "Plan
resource" (compare with section 2.3)?

2. Do the property names need "_uri"
on the end? By putting that on, you prevent using the same property name
in future for an inlined version of the linked resource (if a future spec
version allows it, e.g. to allow the reduction of HTTP requests needed
to get certain information/resources). A property named "operations"
on an assembly resource (as indeed the arrow is labelled in the 2nd diagram
in section 2.2.6) would have exactly the same semantics as a property named
"operations_uri", when the value is a string containing a URI.
The advantage of the former would be the possible widening of the allowed
value type in future, as mentioned just now, where the value would be a
JSON object rather than a string.

3. Example 5 (s4.2.2.1) still says "DP"
while example 6 has changed this to "Plan"


Some spelling/grammar points which aren't
part of changes from the previous comment period:

4. Section 2.7 Representation skew:
"it exists but it an intermediate state" should be "it exists
but in an intermediate state".

5. In various places the informal spelling
"thru" is used. I would expect this to be "through".
