Erm, did I misread the minutes? It seems to me that the WG *already* decided that get/set operations would be used. That doesn't prescribe a binding, of course, but neither does my proposal; that the operations I proposed are "GET" and "PUT" doesn't prevent a binding to FTP RETR and STOR, for example.
