My initial reaction is that I'm not a fan. It seems to me that this encourages tunnelling over HTTP to overcome the limitations of pipelining and other aspects of the connection. While there may be some places for it, I think it'll end up being used indiscriminately, reducing the amount of visibility into the protocol that the infrastructure gets. The right way to fix these problems is to fix the underlying transport issues; e.g., see the discussions around HTTP over SCTP. In the meantime, applications that need this type of functionality can define local use of POST to do the same thing...
