title: REST verbs - which convention is "correct"
body: <p>I'm well into implementing a REST service (on a Windows CE platform if that matters) and I started out using <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-restful/" rel="noreferrer">IBM's general definitions</a> of using POST for creating (INSERTs) and PUT for updating.  </p>
  
  <p>Now I've run across <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/restful/" rel="noreferrer">Sun's definitions</a> which are exactly the opposite.  So my question is, which is the "generally accepted" definition?  Or is there even one?</p>
