In the XSD, the "Method" type is a union of the enumeration
"HTTPMethods" (which lists the commonly used HTTP methods) and
NMTOKEN so it allows any method name. The RelaxNG schema is a little
easier to grok:

attribute name {
   "DELETE" | "GET" | "HEAD" | "POST" | "PUT" | xsd:token
}

Perhaps I should add OPTIONS as an explicit enumeration value too ?
