HTTP *was* defined by the IETF, but the vast majority of operational HTTP experience is now in the W3C, I believe.
Most if not all specs that extend HTTP seem to come out of the IETF, though.
Regardless of that, PaceErrVerb is really an HTTP-wide change, and shouldn't be done in the Atompub WG. If the IETF thinks it's a good idea to do a major change to HTTP, that's great. PaceServiceError will give some good grist for how to do it and what to expect.
Defining a new HTTP method isn't a major change to HTTP -- HTTP is designed to allow extensibility (see <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#method>). I *do* agree that *if* a new method is being defined, it should be done in a way so that it is useful outside the Atom context.
