How does a query capability consumer specify that no properties of members should be returned in a query result?

The syntax of oslc.select requires that at least one property is specified. The spec does not define the behaviour if oslc.select is omitted - see https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OSLCCORE-123.

If the query result is an LDPC, then one solution is to use LDPC Prefer capabilities such as: Prefer: return=representation; include="http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#PreferMembership http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#PreferMinimalContainer";.

However, this seems like a complex solution to meet this requirement, and implementations that do not use LDPCs are unlikely to support it.
