RE: Quick proposal: method="get" be default on submission element

Originally [1] post was the default but it was removed [2] when we
changed from submitInfo to submission.

Hi Steven, 

Having a default seems like a great idea. 
At first, "get" seemed like a good choice, but then I realized that we
are setting the default in such a way that transmission of tag value
pairs, not XML, is the default.  From that point of view, wouldn't
"post" be the better default?

Quick proposal: method="get" be default on submission element

	





While writing examples for the submission section, it struck me that we

may as well have *some* default for submission@method, and since it  
usually seems to be get, I would like to propose that. Then the simplest

submission would be something like:

                <submission action="http://www.example.com/search
<http://www.example.com/search> " />
