That does not make any sense; applications could accept XML, CSV or whatever else just as well.
The original proposal is not very useful. $_GET contains parsed query string info, $_POST contains parsed HTTP request body information if the media type is application/x-www-urlencoded or multipart/form-data. Deserializing that makes sense as the rules for it are in the HTTP spec. $_PUT/$_BODY/$_DATA would then have to contain the raw body contents, at least if the media type isn't one of the above, for consistency. That'd saves the file_get_contents() call, and given how a request handler uses at most once, I'm not sure such a change is worth it.
