Actually, Simon and I were much in agreement. at the lowest level...
the system I built essentially did what he said, but instead of XML,
used S-expressions. The "3 verbs" I refererred to were the 3
fundamental building blocks of the entire system because these were
the ways in which system state could be modified. In other words, the
outer-most expressions always evaluated to one of the 3 verbs ,in a
given context (this last part is important).

I have.
My complaints with HTTP, and I'm sure Simon's too, are based on
experience with both the standard, and implementations of systems
using it... and experience with *other* systems.
