Actually, I think the content-type parameter is the winner.
This doesn't require limiting the URI space/design.
It does require access to the content-type both at the sending and receiving end; maybe I'm not aware of environments where that would be a problem.
(It doesn't work for CoAP, but we have our own way of doing this.)

I thought we just designed a complete PATCH format for resuming uploads.  Aren't we done?
