This gives me the feeling of the tree hidding the forest. HTTP gives a very simple set of words (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, …) to deal with an information space. These words are being abused in many ways. (Julia Kristeva, poetic language and intertextuality?) Basically we are adding a layer of meaning by fragmenting a generic meaning: From "Resource" to "Document, Thing and Service". It seems like going from abstract to more defined material things. This might help momentarily but will just push the limit to the next iteration of "abuse", the next layer of fragmentation. -- Karl Dubost Montréal, QC, Canada http://twitter.com/karlpro
