As I understand the argument (but I might be wrong here): 1. When contacts and similar APIs are implemented as REST, the device APIs themselves become an implementation detail that doesn't need standardization, as long as the API against the restful service is clearly specified. 2. Instead of a policy question, the access to the data on the device is now an authentication question that doesn't require a standardized policy language. -- Arve Bersvendsen Opera Software ASA, http://www.opera.com/
