Re: Quick proposal: method="get" be default on submission element

Hi Steven,

Having a default seems like a great idea.
At first, "get" seemed like a good choice, but then I realized that we are 
setting the default in such a way that transmission of tag value pairs, 
not XML, is the default.  From that point of view, wouldn't "post" be the 
better default?

Quick proposal: method="get" be default on submission element







While writing examples for the submission section, it struck me that we 
may as well have *some* default for submission@method, and since it 
usually seems to be get, I would like to propose that. Then the simplest 
submission would be something like:

                 <submission action="http://www.example.com/search" />
