[Body]/wst:Put/wsf:Fragment/wsf:Expression@Mode="http://www.w3.org/2009/09/ws-fra/Modes/Replace"

    When the Mode attribute is set to a value of "http://www.w3.org/2009/09/ws-fra/Modes/Replace" the resource representation specified within the Value element MUST replace the entire resource representation referenced by the children of the Expression element, if it exists. 
--

While its implied that if the Expression points to something that doesn't 
exist it should just add it, we need to make it clear.

Proposal:
Add to the end of the above text add:
--
If it doesn't exist then the Value is simply added to the resource representation.

Resolve on 3/2/2010 with proposal in: 
 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2010Feb/0022.html

with the following modifications:
- Keep a "Remove" mode
- "Replace" mode MUST have a Value element
- to "Replace" add something like:
    If the expression is invalid per the xsd, assuming xsd checking, 
    then it MUST generate an invalidExpression fault
- Rename "Insert" to "Add"
