Sorry, but I'm going to go with Roy on this one, developers' perceived
"need" to do it the wrong way aside.  People build stuff wrong in
practice, usually in blissful ignorance of REST constraints, but this
doesn't make the wrong approach "more realistic" it just means the
right approach is completely misunderstood -- making it an ideal
example.
