Feel free to file a comment about RFC 2616 at the IETF.
I would expect an answer like "isn't it inconsistent to
disable URL query parameters depending on the method?" ;-)

The combination of named parameters in the query string
and a single uploaded file in the body of a POST request
has been useful to some people. Not everybody wants to deal
with multipart MIME message bodies to upload a single BLOB.
Query parameters are handled by the Servlet API, multipart
MIME bodies are not.

cheers,
