[cddlm] deployment API: next draft

[Steve Loughran]

This is my revised draft. there are lots of changes, which is wh change 
tracking is turned on; so you can see.

Some key points

-SHOULD/MUST where appropriate

-in a few places where stuart didnt agree with things, i removed the 
stuff altogether, opting for implementation ambiguity. example: best way 
to retrieve remote URLs in fileUpload

-fileUpload now takes a schema element that lets you say "http", "file", 
"ftp", "ivy", whatever -relying on the implementation to support what 
you ask (or you get an error), and returns a list of URIs that are all 
resolvable URLs to the uploaded file.

-pulled the xsd:any dynamic state stuff from the portal; use WSDM for that.

-added capabilities for system and portal endpoints in MUWS.

-XSD/WSDL as appendices with the proper URLs for the locations. Stuart, 
if you need to do the same thing, look at how build.xml automates the 
latter fixup in patch-api.

I am now going offline for the rest of the week, not checking email 
until next monday. And at that point I will focus on getting a CDL 
parser working for GGF, so do not intend to spend any more time on this 
doc. If we are going to ship to GGF, it needs to go as is. If not, then 
not. I leave that to the rest of the group to decide. Personally, I 
think it is about as ready as you can get without actually building an 
implementation, but then I am a believer of XP/iterative development, 
rather than waterfall process, which is what we seem to have here.
