You could PUT the entire value of the resource representing account 4402278 (to include owner's name, contact information, history, &c. &c. &c., or you could PUT a custom range to just update the account status, or you could POST just the update. Honestly, if custom ranges worked a bit better, that'd probably be the best option. Given that they don't, really, I think POST isn't terrible. At least it's not GET!
