The problem with that approach though is that it would not be RESTful. I'm developing a REST API (with the goal of 100% REST compliance) and having PUT/DELETE variables mixed in with $_POST would not only be counter-intuitive, but it would just present a new roadblock.
This makes no sense; there is no such thing as "PUT/DELETE variables" in HTTP, any more than there is such things as "POST variables".
Just imagine that the variables are called $_QUERY_STRING and $_REQUEST_BODY. They should be completely orthogonal to the request method.
Note that this is already true to an extent - you can access the query string through $_GET on a POST request, and $_POST will exist as an empty array.
