It's still early, but as that specification stands, it would be
difficult for us to refer to it because it is inconsistent with Web
architecture in important ways.

Not that I want to get into BTP in detail at this point, but I would
like to see us implement some sort of "architectural consistency"
process that ensures that any pre-existing technology that we identify
be validated to be "Web architecture friendly".
