[wsdm][uplat] Transactions

Title: Message

Definition:

A 
"unit of work" that consists of 
multiple actions against a single resource, the same action applied to multiple 
resources, or multiple actions against multiple resources.  The "unit of work" 
should be executed once and only once, even if due to transmission failures or other errors, the 
request may be received multiple times.

 

Reasons to 
include:

Grouping actions 
against resources and assuring their execution/failure is very valuable.  
Activities such as IETF's NetConf discuss "transactions".  The goal is for 
MUWS to be a superset of the functionality in NetConf - avoiding the need for 
multiple protocols/solutions in implementations.
