Maybe we are not making the same design decisions, but we should have a clear model of what it is we are designing, and a good description of that model. Personally, I think AtomPub could have done a better way of describing their model, but there are many useful things you can read about without having to read anything about XML or HTTP.

I agree too !! :) 

My opinion is that the Graph is core of our model. 
State described by a graph. Restful evolution of state.
