As I read it I think that the idea there is to allow usage of pattern where the resulting resource refers to other resources that somehow encode the contents of the QUERY request body in their URL (or even results in redirect to such resource). For example the result of QUERY is page with html table of the data which also includes server-side rendered chart of the same data as an external image.

[Edit: the return redirect to URL that somehow encodes the query usage is even given as an example in section 4.2]
