IIUC your need, the user ID should be in the URL proper since that's

Right, that's actually a good point. It's possible that the best url
scheme for the original poster is someting like:
/users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
If the email address is going to be used as the primary key (or at least
a candidate key), then the above should work. In this case, to delve
into the semantics a little, it should probably be a PUT rather than a
POST (since the key is known ahead of time).
