The reason for the explicit list is so that the serialization behavior of each can be specified. The reason DELETE was not included in Xforms 1.0 is that the HTTP return codes were not available. I have already petitioned the XForms WG to allow DELETE now that return codes are expected to be available in XForms 1.1. I believe some vendors who have implemented WebDAV with Xforms allow delete already, with a qualified name for the submission method (as is allowed by the XForms recommendation)..
