It's a tradition in Pylons to use the Atom REST protocol for model objects with add/modify/delete forms. I've been half questioning that myself because there's little advantage if all the clients are interactive web browsers. But regardless of whether it's been oversold, it's the way most Pylons users do their forms, so it needs a straightforward migration path. WebHelpers form() helper automatically converts the method if it's not POST or GET, and a lot of people will be using that and expecting it to be converted back for their routes.
