What are peoples thoughts on using the OPTIONS method to describe what types of input a resource can handle? The HTTP spec says:
"The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the communication options available on the request/response chain identified by the Request-URI" Currently, Restlet sends the supported verbs back in the headers. Would it be appropriate for a developer to take this one step further and send something like an XML schema back in the response body? This way, clients of the resource could know how to format an XML message (or *any* message for that matter) before communicating with the resource. Nice idea. +1 for me.
