You cannot make a POST submission from the location bar; if you have a
form nothing prevents you from specifying the method for your
submissions.

Hmm... it's lacking in some respects, if you want to go purist.

Take this URL from the wiki:

http://blablalist.com/createlist?
    submission=credentials&
    login=johnsmith&
    password=password&
    submission=create&
    name=Things+I+need+to+do+today

That looks like a HTTP GET to me, in which case, it is missing on a
key point of REST: the HTTP verbs.

Instead, it should have been a POST to this URL (for instance):

http://blablalist.com/lists/Things+I+need+to+do+today/

With this XML document in the POST payload:

<list>
    <credentials>
        <login>johnsmith</login>
        <password>password</password>
    </credentials>
</list>

This is the kind of thing that I thought would be nice if it could be
auto generated based on meta data :)
