The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final

Abstract


   This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP.  A QUERY
   requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a
   safe/idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that
   processing.  This is similar to POST requests but can be
   automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state
   changes.
