[Bug 23116] Form method attribute only accepts 'get' and 'post'

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23116

--- Comment #2 from Moo <eldmannen@gmail.com> ---
== Use case for DELETE ==
A page has a list of favorites/bookmarks.
Next to each bookmark is a 'input' element of type 'submit'.

When submitted, it submit a DELETE /Bookmark/123 request.

The server removes the bookmark for that user from the database, and returns a
page stating "Bookmark removed".

<form action="/Bookmark/123" method="delete">
  <input type="submit" value="Delete" />
</form>


== Use case for PUT ==
User clicks on "Edit profile".
User changes text, and presses the submit button.
Server updates the user's profile with the new data and returns a confirmation.

<form action="/Profile/" method="put">
  <textarea name="profile" cols="80" rows="10"></textarea>
  <input type="submit" value="Update profile" />
</form>
