Fair enough.  That sounds like a principle we can elaborate on in the WSA
.... *IF* discovery by heretofore unknown users is an important value
proposition, and *IF* you place a high value on onforeseen repurposing of
your web services resources, tend toward RESTful interaction.  

It does not, however, address the boring, corporate, back-office,
real-money-changing-hands stuff that we've been talking about, and where Web
services (at least those that anyone would pay for) are primarily used
today.
