Thanks, that's what I understood. Mark (with 'k'), is that your understanding also? If so I have real trouble following you on the expectation that people will write libraries in various languages for each of those services (in the general case). Especially when taking that to an EAI context where one would have rather specialized services (==web apps) I do not see the value of RESTFul integration anymore. Because one would have to create all those specific libraries for all the services. Can you clarify (for my brain at least) if that's really what you mean? Actually, I thought you meant that people would generally create such libraries for each *MIME type* (or schema), but then Marc picked up on the 'web applications' language... Thanks.
