That would make the definition of 405 consistent with the definition of the Allow header, which currently says: "The response-header field "Allow" lists the set of methods advertised as supported by the resource identified by the request-target. The purpose of this field is strictly to inform the recipient of valid methods associated with the resource. An Allow header field MUST be present in a 405 (Method Not Allowed) response." -- <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-06.html#rfc.section.9.1> That would still leave the reason phrase and the *name* of the "Allow" header confusing, but we'll probably have to live with that.
