Not sure if this is relevant to 'web description formats', but similar to tarawa is a system I built called Xang that maps http resources and requests to objects where the mapping is described by XML and methods can be implemented as javascript within that XML document (which can then invoke methods on other objects, etc.) http://xml.apache.org/xang/overview.html It's a bit rusty and old, and I haven't tried an install with newer servlet containers, but there is some interesting stuff in there.
