When I was twiddling with rails, this was what they were recommending for updates instead of PUT. Except, it turns out browsers don't really support PATCH so you're actually supposed to send POST and rails will like pretend it's a PATCH? Or something?
Thanks but no thanks.

Deletion often makes a bunch of sense in terms of a REST service, even if it's not something you use all the time. (The service can also unilaterally decide to delete a resource if it wants to; nothing in the principles of REST prevents that, so long as the service responds appropriately afterwards, e.g., with a 404 or 410.)
