My original idea was to restrict POST requests to the REST server: a
POST should always contain an XML fragment and nothing else. However,
we already allow url-encoded parameters to be POSTed to XQuery
resources, so why not also allow them on other documents?

We could use the Content-Type header to decide. If it is
application/x-www-form-urlencoded, eXist should not try to parse the
data as XML but just treat it like a GET request.
