This seems to be a general comment about the goodness of PUT and DELETE vs
doing everything with POST. I agree with this.

The tricky question is how to actually *use* PUT and DELETE with HTML forms.
The bug was raised because I think the spec (as it was back then) wasn't
specific enough to make this work, and thus early adoption (such as in FF4)
would make it very hard to do the right thing later on.

With respect to cacheability: my understanding is that cacheability is the same
for PUT, POST, DELETE and many other methods. You may want to have a look at
HTTPbis, Part 6
