Re: WADL status vs representation

I've been holding off updating the spec for quite a while to keep
things stable for users, the concern being that a shifting spec will
put folks off using WADL. However, perhaps its now time for a new
version to fix the issues that have accumulated since the last
version. Updating the spec and schema's is the easy part, bringing the
code into line would take a little longer and then one would expect a
delay until other projects and products adopt the new version.
