Actually, alas, this is the crux of the discussion. It is *not* a fairly simple change: you can't POST *from the middle of an email*, which was the desired implementation. If you use POST, the user *has to do another thing*.
There is much reason not to comply with the published standard: people are stupid. Shame, isn't it?
