[wsrp][wsia] Draft spec v0.7

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

Just realized this morning that I posted this to the joint mailing lists
rather than the TC mailing lists. Sorry for the duplication this causes.

As the editors talked today about whether or not there would be value in
holding up sending out this version for another couple of days, we decided
to send it out as the pending work fell into 2 basic camps:
 - Small stuff that has no technical impact: Examples include adding
introductory blurbs in front of the data structure subsections in Chapter
11.
 - Big stuff: Major example is definition of a set of fault messages. 1 or
2 days will not make a difference here.

Compared against this is the need to see how the decisions of the past 3
weeks work together to mold the spec toward completion.

As a result, here is v0.7. We think it reflects the discussion/decisions
from the F2F and Issue calls since. It also includes a simplified caching
proposal (from what has been discussed on the email list) so that it could
be viewed in context of the whole. This is an example where we will need to
discuss whether it is useful at this simpler level and the complexity/value
tradeoff of moving it to the next level. This version also incorporates the
simplified property proposal discussed at the F2F for entity state updates.
Also included is a change to use the <any/> payload extension mechanism we
decided to explore. Preliminary tests of the attached WSDL says that both
Axis and .Net tooling will process it to produce reasonable stubs.
Interoperability and treatment by other web service tooling also need to be
explored.
