[LC1.1] Section 11.7 'verb'

This is a LC comment regarding the "verb" section of 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xforms11-20070222/#submit-verb
and likewise references in 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xforms11-20070222/#submit-options

1) I can not find a clear definition or normative reference, to what a 
"verb" is.

2)
Section states: 
        "default value is determined based on the URI scheme and the 
method attribute using the rules in 11.9 Submission Options. "
Comment:
        Looking in 11.9, I can not find any clear rules for processing. 
Only a reference to the "submission" column, which does not define a 
string literal that can be used for the value of the element/attribute of 
verb.  I'd recommend clarifying the table either by adding a new "Verb" 
column and string literals that are valid.

3)
Section states:
        "For example, under the http and https schemes, the methods post 
and urlencoded-post correspond to the verb POST"
Comment:
        Does this imply that if action="http://someurl" that verb="post" 
and if action="https://someurl" then verb="urlencoded-post"?

4)
Section states:
        "If given, the verb attribute overrides the default verb used in 
submission"
Comment:
        What is the default?  Perhaps it is given in the table in 11.9 but 
I'm unable to clearly map the values

5) Editorial
Section states:
        "The submission element can optionally *have* a child element 
named verb"
missing word *have*

Thanks,
