Hi Elliotte, It's pretty straightforward with XForms 1.1, but impossible with 1.0. It's not just the methods you mention (PUT and DELETE), but to do introspection you need to be able to pick up URLs dynamically. And if you plan to use GData you will need the ability to retrieve non-XML data via submission in order to authenticate, which is also a 1.1 feature. We've got loads of code lying around that does this, ranging from using eXist to add, remove and query items, through to interacting with the various Google services. I'll try to get a few things together and make them available. One suggestion; if you're interested in doing some work in this area, why don't we do it on Google's Code area? We could create an XForms libary to sit alongside the other GData libraries, which would surely help XForms adoption and profile. :) I'm more than happy to contribute our forms to this.
