Just today, I saw a case [1] where a popular client sends body in DELETE, and a popular server outright rejects DELETE with body. In a messy situation like this, we would naturally seek an authority or an arbitrator. However, the good people of this working group do not seem to be interested in playing that role. They are more interested in documenting the best practice that maximize interoperability. They will give advices and recommendations, but they are not here to issue rulings or give permissions. That's probably the misunderstanding here by people who want GET with body - they think this working group can be an authority that makes it happen. Therefore I think this topic (GET+body) is out of the scope. You do not need to seek permission from the working group, you will not get any. You will not get an opposite "decree" either. You can go ahead and do it, against all advices, and if it becomes a huge success, the working group will accept the reality and document it down.
