DeleteRequestType has a "recursive" attribute that specifies whether the 
provider should delete (along with the specified object) any object that 
the specified object (directly or indirectly) contains.  The "recursive" 
attribute is optional; the default is 'false'.

Should BulkDeleteRequestType also have a "recursive" attribute?
Should the default still be 'false' (or should the default be 'true' for 
bulk deletion)?
Or should we normatively specify that bulkDelete is always recursive?
