That seems general enough, with the right and full semantic connotations. In addition to the requirements that it result only in retrieval and be safe, what about idempotence (as actually defined in Section 9.1.2 :)? That appears to pertain to automatic retries on interrupted or segmental transmissions between HTTP/1.1 UAs and servers. How would the PGET body affect those considerations?
