Having just searched... 1: Correct (and unsurprising) to say we've not spec'd any way to initiate execution of a templated request. 2: I don't see text allowing them to be cleaned up "quickly", which I thought we had in here already. 3: I don't see any mention of the oslc:usage value for templates, did we scrap that entirely in favor of TemplateDialog as a type? 4: wrt #1, we should consider if that's a gap. If I wanted to emulate a client-centric reader, you also haven't told me that updating its state to queued/etc Must Not have the desired effect.

The client cannot change its oslc_auto:state to make it eligible, as its oslc_auto:state is already set to oslc_auto:new, as that is what the provider wants submitted to the creation factory. There is no spec'd way to make this exact request resource (at this exact URI) eligible for execution. The provider has decided that this resource is not eligible for execution (because it was created by a template dialog), and it has not exposed this in the data as there is no way allowed by the spec to advertise this in the data. Therefore there is nothing about the data that can be changed to make it eligible for execution. There's nothing to stop the provider doing something provider-specific, but what I'm wanting to get across is that this is non-eligible, and that there is no spec'd way to make it eligible. For now I've changed it to "This Automation Request resource itself is not eligible for execution", which hopefully covers both our points. (Although I'm not sure we introduce the term "eligible for execution" anywhere. Perhaps we need to include in in the Auto spec's discussion of template dialogs. All other suggestions are good, I've edited the page to include them. Thanks.
