Comment:

 [attachment:38521.3.diff] updates the patch to add edit and delete to
 `/users/me`.

 I'm not convinced that this is a documentation issue. With the redirect in
 place, the developer experience will either be "nice, this just works", or
 "omg, everything is exploding, I don't know why", particularly when it
 comes to the internals of OAuth libraries, or `XMLHttpRequest` behaviour.

 Making `/users/me` behave as a proper resource seems like it will fix
 this.

 (PS: I know that delete on `/users/me` has fairly limited use, but the
 ability to delete yourself is too good not to add.)
