I’m cool with $_QUERY and $_FORM. They make much more sense and don’t try to use HTTP verbs,
which can confuse the content and semantics of the data they contain. Plus, they would just alias
$_GET and $_POST, respectively, right?

That’s my understanding. There’s also some discussion about deriving data from $_POST/$_FORM
that is intended for use with other HTTP verbs, I’m still trying to ascertain exactly what was in
mind there (Andrea I think you suggested that?)
