DELETE the URI (of the information space), not the person (of the  
physical space). That is all the difference.
HTTP does *not* define how the information is manipulated by the server.

Web architects must understand that resources are
just consistent mappings from an identifier to
some set of views on server-side state. If one
view doesn’t suit your needs, then feel free to
create a different resource that provides a better
view (for any definition of “better”). These views
need not have anything to do with how the
information is stored on the server, or even what
kind of state it ultimately reflects. It just
needs to be understandable (and actionable) by the
recipient.
