:-)

Perhaps we could generalize this further and have a generic "thing"
header, that could be xml or n3 or whatever, and your new verbs would
use the "thing" as the object for their respective operations?  And
while we are at it, let's fix the bodyless get problem and have a
HEADQUERY that use the thing as the query object.  Could we fix some of
the security issues too?

Cheers,
Dave
