Before you get _too_ enthusiastic, I'd just like to point out that I 
think there _are_ interesting ideas lurking in REST once you get past 
the proselytizing, and they don't depend on human interaction any more 
than any other approach.

IMO, what's distinctive and interesting about REST is that it 
corresponds quite naturally to a programming model surprisingly similar 
to formal models of distributed and mobile systems, the Pi calculus in 
particular. That model is _very_ different from RPC-like programming 
models, and definitely worth consideration, especially wrt 
choreography/orchestration.

I'm against obfuscation, not REST, and saddened that half-baked (no pun 
intended) advocacy is getting in the way of teasing out it's genuine 
merits.

Cheers,


Miles
