Ahh. Good point. I was considering PUTting the horn into the honking state vs POSTing horn honks for execution. In the first case, 2 PUT honks would just result in a honking car, in the second, 2 POSTs would get you 2 "honks" whatever those are defined to be. I guess I was thinking of the idempotent "panic" button on my cars key fob.

the idempotent "panic" button on my cars key fob Hmmm, mine actually isn't--one hit turns panic mode on, the second turns it off.

There's a reasonable argument for a custom verb. But pragmatically, given the problems customs verbs cause I'd probably go for POST.
