The response to this request must have code 303 “See other” and the Location header of the response must point to the /{jobs}/(job-id) URI so that the client receives the phase that the job has been set to. Typically a UWS will put a job into a QUEUED state on receipt of this command, but depending on how busy the server is, the job might be put almost immediately (and without client intervention) into an EXECUTING state.

it is just an oversight - all of the UWS control objects that are updatable via POST should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded - I will make it clearer in the new 1.1 draft.
