Read-Only Provider

[Gary Cole <gary.cole@oracle.com>]

Another use-case on the wiki is ready for review: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/provision/ReadOnlyProvider

The read-only provider use-case makes the case for considering a read- 
only provider to be conformant.  Currently, SPMLv2 requires a provider  
to support the core operations, including add, modify and delete.   
Anil John raised this use-case, supported by Thomas Smith.

I will ask Richard Sand to schedule this use-case for review during  
the next PSTC meeting on Monday, 4/25.  I realize that this is short  
notice, but the write-up is only about 3 pages and the business-level  
use-case is fairly straightforward.  If at the time of the meeting  
participants feel that they need more time to prepare, we can delay  
the review.

up according to the template.
- I've discussed with Anil on the list some aspects of simple search  
that might bear on a SimpleProfile.

Capabilities.
- We need volunteers to write up additional use-cases: pick your  
favorite!
