Hi,

I have finished and uploaded a rather significant update of the Core &  
Models [1] document. The Infrastructure document [2] has been updated  
accordingly while the HTTP Rendering document is still in the works.

The Core & Models changelog:
  - Updated UML diagram. Fixes the issue with Actions.
  - Updated and re-structured description/definition of the base types.  
Please read everything through.
  - Templates definition added, it is just a Category but without the  
requirement to be a type construct.
  - Added full description of the Category base type.
  - Removed all REST and HTTP stuff. This information will reappear in the  
HTTP Rendering document.
  - HTTP related Open Issues will reappear in the HTTP Rendering document.
  - Extension rules properly defined.
  - Discovery mechanism from the Core perspective.

Hopefully the new version should be a lot more consistent and only address  
things relevant to the Core specification. The information which was  
specific to the HTTP rendering will reappear in that document when it is  
completed.

I put some effort into describing how to extend OCCI Core so each base  
type now has its on subsection describing the rules for domain-specific  
extensions.

Comments welcome.

regards, Ralf
