I was thinking about DELETE lately <http://www.elharo.com/blog/software-development/web-development/2006/03/29/incompetent-boobs/> and in the process scanning the HTML spec to see if one could do something like this: <FORM ACTION="http://www.example.com/badpage.html" METHOD="DELETE"> Apparently not. HTML 4 and XHTML 1.1 only allow GET and POST methods from forms. I looked ahead to XHTML 2, which pointed me at XForms, which apparently adds PUT. However, there's still no DELETE, even in 1.1. It seems pretty crucial for many use cases. Any special reason this is missing? Or is it just that nobody's asked for this yet? -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
