Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-1141:
-----------------------------------------

This is proper behavior. (Or -- what Damien said...)

The intent is to allow users the option to save audit data like deleted_at and deleted_by when they set _deleted=true. 

To read these documents you have to fetch them with their rev num. 

Now, I haven't figured out how to find their rev num except via the changes feed, and THAT might be an improvement we should make.

> If a doc is deleted via -X DELETE, the resulting doc contains only id/rev_deleted:true. However, if a doc is deleted via PUT or POST, through adding _deleted:true, the entire contents of the doc remains stored. Even after compaction, the original document contents remain.
> This issue is causing databases with large docs to become bloated over time, as the original doc contents remain in the database even after being deleted.
