It's a mismatch in semantics between a W3C specification and the Web's core protocol. An HTTP resource has multiple methods and they are logically equivalent to operations, not port types. Also, it would be easy to open this up to allow any HTTP method and header. Is there the possibility of forming a special interest group to work on that binding as a parallel task to the rest of the specification? Paul Prescod
