Surely "safe" is a weaker condition than "idempotent"? After all, GET is never idempotent if the web server is logging accesses, but having extra accesses recorded is safe for the client.

.... and deleting something should be idempotent anyway. You can delete the same thing as many times as you want, the result will always be that the item no longer exists.
