I think I agree that if this was to hit CouchDB it should be done

method, makes the most sense given the context.
You would want to allow partial updates in a bulk operation, so any
packaging would need to be usable in that context as well. Given
updates need to be handled separately, maybe deletions should be as
well.

{ "_id": ..., "_rev": ..., deltas: [ { "replace":... }, ... ] }

This has the benefit of (roughly) representing the HTTP methods that
it aggregates.
