I think that the HTTP way to think about it is: "what does the client want the server to do?" If you want it to get information for you, like a Google results page, then you use GET and application/x-www-urlencoded. If you want the server to accept and process information then you use PUT or POST and XML or multipart/form-data. You choose the syntax based on the semantics you are trying to achieve. > I understand that there are proposals for flexible submitInfo processing in > XForms, separating out the 'locator' portion from the 'body' section.
