Agreed. I don't think there is a need to mention CRUD explcitly. We
could probably just say that the common set of HTTP methods that
constitute the common set of operations of the uniform interface of a
resource are XYZ and we can say that often POST is used to create a
resource and that PUT may be used to create a resource or update (in
whole) the state of a resource.
