I did it this way so don't have have to put the _rev in a json body of
the DELETE request.

PUT and POST, you put the _rev in the json object.

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.


Sounds good. Feel free to add it to the wiki.
