On the call today we had some discussion on immutability….

Issue:  During an update, it is expected that the entire JSON record be present for the replace.  This means that even immutable attributes SHOULD be present but unchanged.  Immutable attributes should not be omitted in a PUT operation.

Bill has taken an action item to provide some text for draft 03 later this aft:

Core Schema: Need to clarify immutable as meaning cannot change once set.

API - need clarification on PUT section 3.3.1 to reflect that the entire JSON record SHOULD be provided and that immutable attributes that are previously set MUST match.  

I will add an editors note that the issue of immutable attributes being required to be included in a PUT is being monitored.
