RE: GET / HEAD / OPTIONS

I'll ask the Mark Nottingham question, where is the requirements doc
that the WG has agreed to?  Such a document would help answer these
kinds of issues quickly, and if there isn't documented agreement then
these kinds of questions are bound to continue happening.  

I looked at the charter
(http://www.w3.org/2006/appformats/admin/charter.html) to see if I could
find any guidance there but didn't even find the work listed in the
deliverables.  Which surprised me somewhat.
