I agree, I think there are use cases for both types of dispatch, and it seems clean and well-defined to make a route that is valid for only a subset of HTTP methods. I guess there are a few corner cases to think about, for example should Django's url resolver start returning 405s instead of 404s when it's just the method that doesn't match? But that kind of stuff is easily worked out. I like the syntax too, a list passed as a kwarg to the url() function. So +1 from me.
