      Change updateProperties to be full (PUT) and partial (PATCH)

      Description

      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.
