RFC 2616 section 9.1 "Safe and Idempotent Methods" already has a discussion of HTTP GET and safety. I'd hate to see a TAG recommendation on the topic that didn't at least reference the HTTP spec. There's been some talk of an update to RFC 2616, at a minimum to incorporate the errata (http://purl.org/net/http-errata).
