One thing I haven't heard in this discussion is
the usage of links.
That's a crucial feature of anything REST.
Have you looked at prescod.net?
Yes, read all of it someday in the past.
Anyway the "hypermedia as the engine of application state" has been a
recent hot-topic of the REST community since when Fielding did the post
I cited in my previous mail.
Recently a very nice article has been published on InfoQ about the
subject: http://www.infoq.com/articles/subbu-allamaraju-rest
I have linked all the references I have cited on the XWiki page about
the RESTful API design on Xwiki.org for keeping track of the background
discussion.
Thanks.
