> updateProperties uses partial update logic, but uses the HTTP method PUT. As far as I can tell, this is a bad use of PUT.
> This really should use PATCH (<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2068#section-19.6.1.1>), or alternatively POST.
> Note that this is one of the issues that are not CMIS specific, so they really should be discussed on the Atom mailing list.
> UPDATE: draft 0.60 does not contain the term "PATCH", thus this seems to be unresolved.
