My question for the group, is whether it's even valid to issue a redirect for DELETE when GET, HEAD, PUT and perhaps OPTIONS would respond 200 OK for the same...

Isn't that what agent-driven negotiation is all about? Makes perfect sense to me. In the example below "index" is a resource, and the the server is letting the...
Strictly speaking, this is still agent-driven content-negotiation, and the redirect you are proposing may be an implementation detail. IMO, this redirect is...
I think the use of 202 for this use case is not correct. 202 is a non- committal response, meaning that, the server has accepted the request, but is not ready...
