* QUERY is non destructive/idempotent. Hmmm. Bye bye UPDATE FOO set values(x=z) where id = foo. Seems limiting. * All existing methods for userland data exchange are CRUD adjacent (options/connect/etc are more protocoly). QUERY is a bit of an outlier. Im not against having a bulk “R”ead operation, but its kind of already GET, just suffers the payload problems mentioned.

How about GET /foo -H x-query: serialized_query instead?
