push/pull/sync are not GET/PUT/DELETE operations, they need a lot of
negotiation to find out what to send. They cannot be directly supported
by dumb servers, you need a smart client with the necessary logic to
break them down into simpler parts.
Simple URLs to specify what to sync against are very convenient, but why
should they be force-fit into a scheme which is not designed for that
sort of interactive operation?
