I changed the example in the spec. I did not change anything in the Harvesting section and only reference I see is with "Resource" not "resource" let me know if I missed it.

As for the samples yes I guess it would be good to change them to "Resource" to avoid confusion and in fact I had to do that to add the samples into the test registry because the upload process uses a schema. Since the Spec does not define how you Add/Update new Resources or how you store it at the backend, then I did not mind if the Samples used "resource" though I could see it might be confusing.

cheers,
Kevin
