On: Rules for REST API URI Design

Wouldn't that place "delete" at the same level as, e.g., "courses" i.e. http://api.blah.com/student/32/courses?

He's trying to articulate using arbitrary semantic uri schemes (that was just a simple example) rather than HTTP verbs. Ultimately, you have to document them in your APIs anyway and the caching reasoning (along with all the others I've heard), just haven't been useful in practice.
