Re: [wsrf] Issue: Delete will always fault if minOccurs > 0

[Tom Maguire <tmaguire@us.ibm.com>]

The offending statement that makes this a problem is

If, as a result of processing the Delete component, the resource properties
document is no
longer able to validate, the processing of the component MUST fail.

There are a couple of approaches:
1) Move the validation requirement to the should be moved from the
component level to the
 SetResourceProperties element level.  (This may introduce other issues)
2) Leave it as is and note that for any ResourcePropertyElement with
minOccurs >0 the result
is that the elements values can not be deleted.
