[jboss-as7-dev] "Read" operations

[Brian Stansberry]

Thanks, guys, for the input.

"read", "write", "add", "remove" sounds fine. Operations involving 
creation usually (maybe always) involve some addition as well (a new 
node added to the tree, or a new element added to an attribute whose 
type is a list), so "add" feels right.
