We should just create a revision for RFC 2616 to extend the GET method to allow request bodies. Most HTTP frameworks already support this behaviour anyway.
RFC 2616 has already been obsoleted, and there is a draft (I think on its 19th draft or more) RFC obsoleting the set that obsoleted RFC 2616.
> to extend the GET method to allow request bodies.
Adding a new method is safer than changing the semantics of an existing one, “has a body” is a pretty major distinction for an HTTP message, whether a request method or response status.
