Sounds good to me, then we need to figure out a format to express this.



Proposal

========



ABNF update (see section 3.5.1 in draft HTTP Rendering doc):



----

attribute-list = attribute-def | attribute-def *( 1*SP attribute-def)

attribute-def = attribute-name | attribute-name "{" attribute-property *(

1*SP attribute-property) "}"

attribute-property = "immutable" | "required"

----



The logic would be as follows:



If no attribute properties are defined the attribute is _mutable_ and

non-required (i.e. multiplicity 0..x).

If the "immutable" property is set the attribute is immutable.

If the "required" property is set the attribute has a multiplicity of

1..x, i.e. must be specified.
