I'm with you with many things you write, except for:

"A solicitation of UA implementor interest from the Editor has gone 
unanswered for a month. Moreover, the spec allowed PUT and DELETE in 
<form method> for years. They were dropped for lack of implementor 
interest."

Actually, they were dropped because they *were* implemented 
(incorrectly) in FF and about to ship in FF4, thus making it hard to get 
it right after-the-fact.
