Why is it forbidden to reset the meta-attribute?

this has a strategic reason. This framework allows defining resource types dynamically and the operations are handled on extensions of the ResourceNode class. So if a developer decides to use the same ResourceHandler implementation for all or at least for several resource types it is necessary to know what type of resource is currently handled and this information is added to the meta-attribute just before the create or update method is called. so resetting the meta-attribute would remove the resourceType attribute from meta what would eventually result in a DocumentValidationException.
