It's a semantic problem. REST applied to the WEB prescribes that the
HTTP uniform interface (and its semantics) should be used to access
resources.
Now if you have http://site/space/page/action/delete
and you do a GET on it you are actually *deleting* a page.
Yep for a moment I had forgotten about the HTTP verbs... ;)

To me
something like http://site/space/page?action=delete is NOT
RESTful.
Yes I agree but how is that incompatible?
You can easily rewrite it to http://site/space/page/action/delete,
no?
Isn't it possible to conceive of an automatic transformation by using
a rule such as:
for each API method parameter, take the parameter name, add "/" and
then add the parameter value?
