And find it mildly amusing that the default methods disagree. Which, it seems is often the case for web standards documents.

There's no disagreement there at all. If CGI.pm isn't told which method to use, it generates a "method=POST" string. If a web agent isn't told which to do, it uses GET by default. Two different levels. No conflict.
