The decision to use separate methods instead of just POST (which I think was the original question) was arrived at after a lengthy discussion; the first record I can find is from October 1996: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/1996OctDec/subject.html#25 Note that SOAP takes a different view; it only uses POST. I don't think the considerations have changed substantially, except perhaps that we're talking about using other headers and/or message body elements rather than content-type to do method dispatching.
