> PUT and PATCH on track?

I'm not sure what the reference to PUT is (its a base HTTP method) but I assume that PATCH refers to getting it added as an RFC-specified extension to HTTP/1.1.

> and i thought PUT and DELETE were basically dead.. atleast, in hopes of browsers being able to use them.

Browsers can use PUT and DELETE.

HTML Forms however, support only the post and get methods. (I don't really get why: the semantics as form methods for PUT, PATCH, and DELETE as form methods seem pretty obvious given those of GET and POST.)
