Good idea, provocative title. It still carries a strong whiff of "REST is orthodoxy, let's document some tolerated heresies". How about entitling the section "Alternative Interaction State Paradigms" (ah, that lovely weasel-word!), with at least four subsections: - REST - OMA - Asynchronous/dynamic - Other And before you protest that we haven't clearly identified what might go into the third or fourth section, I believe that this omission will be shortly corrected. In the mean time, I'd like to drive a stake into the ground for a multiplicity of ideas - not just REST and "deviations". Geoff
