Open Stack

I noticed a few things about the new 1.1 spec that I thought I'd give feedback on:

1. Set Queue Metadata
A PUT operation is provided, which does a hard replace of metadata values. New items are inserted, and existing items that are not specified are wiped.

Nova also provides a POST operation that is more sympathetic - allowing you to update only the values specified, leaving existing unspecified items unmodified. Could a similar operation be added to this API - since there definitely seems like a use case for it.

2. Get a Specific Message
In the response body, the `href` field is provided as a relative URI - why? Surely absolute URIs are more convenient for the end-user.

3. Deleting Multiple Messages
a. How does one delete multiple claimed messages? What would the URI template look like? It is not specified whether this is possible or not.
b. If I provide a bunch of IDs, and one of them is a claimed message, what happens? Will it be silently ignored? The behavior is undefined.

4. Read a Shard
Should these response structures be nested in a top-level "shard" object? Same will the "List Shards" collection.

5. The request body for Post Message(s) contains malformed JSON - the `=` should be `:`

Sorry if some of these issues have already been settled or discussed :)
