You have no idea what POST does on a given URI. It's not a question of traffic, it's a question of whether a random POST handler results in state changes that depend on the number of times it's been hit. Since the semantics of POST are application-specific (which is fine, IMHO), the POST handler could be doing something irreversible, like sending email or firing missiles. The request in PaceServiceError is idempotent.
"Firing missiles"
No way is posting an Atom Error going to cause anything worse than an invalid arguments type response page. You are mental Mr Sayre.
