Good idea, provocative title. It still carries a strong whiff of "REST
is orthodoxy, let's document some tolerated heresies". How
about entitling the section "Alternative Interaction State
Paradigms" (ah, that lovely weasel-word!), with at least four
subsections:
- REST
- OMA
- Asynchronous/dynamic
- Other

And before you protest that we haven't clearly identified what might
go into the third or fourth section, I believe that this omission 
will be
shortly corrected. In the mean time, I'd like to drive a stake into the
ground for a multiplicity of ideas - not just REST and "deviations".
