I think this proposal is just millimeters from being genuious. No, as a  
matter of fact, I think it's genious. Those with more control over their  
web servers, with scripting capabilities and such, will be able to catch  
those ERROR requests neatly. Those with statically served pages will get  
the ERROR requests logged to the server logs.

If everyone is aware of the ERROR verb, it will be easy to track the error  
down to the ill-formed entry. Does anyone oppose this method? I think it's  
very RESTful and elegant. If no one else creates it, I'll put up a  
PaceErrorVerb on the Wiki.
