RE: HTTP binding options

Seems to me the two are related.  If REST guided HTTP's design, then taking
advantage of HTTP necessitates taking advantage of REST.  But I do like the
approach of playing up the HTTPness of the binding.  The fragments "Take
advantage of HTTP features" vs "Full REST support" seem to be either a bug
or a feature depending upon the person evaluating the fragment.

Cheers,
Dave
