+1 for using right http method for true restful web service in the future. And by the way, does 'create resource tag(s) API' have the same requirement? Max length of tag value is 255 now.

Ideally, we need to be using the right http methods for a true restful web service. Also about the length part, how then we allow user data to be of size 2kb currently ?
