"method
  Author-optional string specifying the protocol method to be used to  
transmit the submission. There is no default value; either the attribute  
method or the element method must be specified."

What is our reasoning for not having a default? I don't see what it buys  
us.

I would suggest we pick a value, and the two candidates seem to be GET and  
POST,
GET because it is the most highly occurring, and POST because it is the  
one that serialises as XML.

Despite that, I would vote for GET, since it is the simple one (at the  
receiving end).
