What would they disagree with?
http://www.1060.org/blogxter/entry? 
publicid=7C88E1D0B72BD62EDED670A9EAA4C14E gives me a rather different  
impression about their fondness for RESTifarian dogma:

" Atom looks at the world with HTTP spectacles. If we're going to do a  
blog protocol let's do it right. Abstract the messaging from the  
transport. Work out what you want to exchange, define a transport  
neutral layer and plug the transports (HTTP, SMS, IM, email, BPP[1]...)  
into the framework. ..."  I don't see anything in the rest of that   
post that I disagree with.

  Likewise,  
http://1060research-server-1.co.uk/docs/latest/docxter/ 
doc_Net_Kernel_Principles_and_Philosophy.html seems *extremely*  
consistent with my assertion that XML rather than HTTP is the secret  
sauce in "services over the Web" [ which is a superset of Web services  
as WSA defined it]
