When does POST use the _rev? Is this for POST uploads of attachments?
Putting that aside, I think the current matrix is something like this:
GET PUT DELETE
------------------
_id in URI yes yes yes
_id in body no no no
_rev in URI yes no yes
_rev in If-Match no yes yes
_rev in body no yes no
Perhaps that's worth documenting somewhere.
