Wow, live can be so easy ;-)
But I wonder if I can pass additional parameters to the methods.
No, <input type=hidden name=... value=...> does not fit my needs as the
parameter to pass has always the same name but different values for each
method.

This is not necessary as I have found out. You can give full qualified paths
to the methods eg. <input type=submit name="/myMethods/delete:method value
=" Delete ">.
