If common practice were enough, the spec in its entirety would be
useless. There's lots of common XHR practice. Besides, the Web's a
big place. A lot of people use, say, PROPFIND many times a day (often
without knowing it), others have never heard of it. I don't think I'm
making any manner of radical statement if I say that you don't build
interoperability on hand-waving towards "common practice",
implementers' "common sense", or other such mythical animals.
