I'm not saying POST is bad REST, I am acknowledging the claim by some that it is and, without debating whether or not it is, saying that using REPORT or SEARCH, as currently defined, is at least as bad as using POST from a REST point-of-view.

(I actually think that, in terms of using HTTP in a RESTful way, POST is the least-bad choice in terms of existing verbs, though it is not an exceptionally good fit -- its basically a case where POST-works-for-anything-for-which-no-other-method-seems-appropriate logic applies.)

Ah, my bad, I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying!
