 Sorry about that, but this was one change that was essential. In the
discussions among the Record Update developers, there was a great deal of
confusion caused by using "operation" to refer to create/replace/delete,
when it was also used to distinguish the Update operation from the Explain
operation. The term "operation" is more suited to the latter (analogous to
its use in SRU where we have the searchRetrieve, scan, and explain
operations). Changing the first "operation" to "action"  made discussion
much easier.

Ok, in the next draft we will either add a diagnostic, or relax this
restriction (and add a diagnostic for the case where the id doesn't match
the record).

"Invalid action"  and "unsupported action" should each warrant a diagnostic.
We'll add them next draft.

These namespaces will be completely changed in the next draft.

There are xml files for earlier drafts
http://www.ceridwen.com/srw/schema/wsvn/Update%201.0%20Schema/latest/?rev=0&sc=0
They don't match the current draft. We'll produce up-to-date files when the
spec becomes stable.
