Just throwing it out there... You're right. Bad idea.
Here, you'd have an 'update' relation:
<atom:link rel="update" href="/member-uri/update"/>
Then you'd POST the content but as a it is a different URL, the server
"knows" what to do.
Requiring additional URI's for each operation is a mess.
Having two ways to do something because of poor/bad ISPs is also a mess.
Maybe this is just something that only fits as an extension...
