I've written a bit of a rant on a sibling comment but the TL;DR is that the IndieWeb movement has spawned some protocols which feel more like "what we happened to use is standard" instead of developing a sane standard.

They could have used POST, PUT, DELETE HTTP methods but apparently that's too complicated.
