Comment:

 What would be the benefit of this validation? The REST API server doesn't
 enforce any semantics about the HTTP method chosen. It'll happily match to
 any HTTP method and pass on a request body if it exists.

 I don't think people should be stopped from using a custom HTTP method if
 they want to. Additionally, I'm not sure we could even enforce this at
 this point without breaking BC.
