Tony took the words right out of my mouth. :-) Or, at least, the moment someone
expresses an actual need for the next piece of flexibility (beyond "Wouldn't it
be cool if..."* to "I have a customer that needs..."), you're on the slope
towards maybe benefiting from enabling more and more of the HTTP verbs where
only one or two made sense before. One way to do this is to work within a
pure-REST framework but say that only POST and GET are supported, with all
others producing an error. Over time, if DELETE is needed, it's easier to turn
it on.

* "The only thing worse than generalizing from one example is generalizing from
no examples at all." Not sure if Tony is expressing an actual need or not.
