      Discussion: Intent is that an operation where the OperationDefinition has only one defined input of type Resource, and the client wants to pass additional params via query params then it can do so.

    Description

      Operations are allowed to include a resource param in the body (if no url params are used): http://hl7.org/fhir/operations.html#request

      If, when invoking the operation, there is exactly one input parameter of type Resource (irrespective of whether other possible parameters are defined), that the operation can also be executed by a POST with that resource as the body of the request (and no parameters on the url).

      But we are using url params on the url while POSTing resources during an operation, e.g. $validate
      http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-operation-validate.html#examples

      I think the examples are correct, but the wording isn't and should be changed to sth. similar to:

      If, when invoking the operation, there is exactly one input parameter of type Resource (irrespective of whether other possible parameters are defined), that the operation can also be executed by a POST with that resource as the body of the request (and the other parameters on the url).
