Remarks
These methods are more accurately given by the HTTP protocol when it is used. However, for reasons similar to those for the title property, it can be useful to include the information in advance in the link. The HTML user agent can choose a different rendering as a function of the methods allowed; for example, if an object has a method that supports searching, an icon denoting this can be rendered.
