Well, that's the whole point of this discussion. POST should not be
used to "fetch results", because we already have a method that does
that; GET. If you have more than one method that means "fetch stuff",
then you've now got multiple independant information spaces, not a
single one. WebDAV made this mistake with PROPFIND, as Dan Connolly
described here;
