This reminds me that one possible way to support PUT/DELETE would be
to only support it when the response representation contains a single
HTML.FORM and the etag for that representation corresponds to the
target resource of the HTML.FORM.

IOW, adopt AtomPub's pattern of using the response representation
meta-data rather than supporting direct manipulation of
if-match/if-none-match from the markup.

I'll note this in the doc, too.

Thanks.
