[wsrf] Deleting a subset of the values from a multi-valued property

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

In reading through this draft, the semantics
of the delete operations requiring the removal of all values for the named
property stood out. The key for me was that there is no means provided
for deleting a subset of a multi-valued property's members. Steve tells
me this is because there is no well-defined means for identifying a member
within such a set. The result of this is that a client having such a need
will need to delete the set and then re-insert the current members that
need to remain. This isn't the cleanest semantics, but hopefully languages
such as XQuery will provide clean solutions once they move through the
standardization process. In the meantime, I would suggest adding a section
to the AppNotes to provide guidance to developers needing to implement
such a use case.
