Looks like this would be pretty easy to accommodate in WADL by adding
a matrix_variable element that is a peer to the existing
path_variable, e.g.:
/map/color;lat=50;long=20;scale=32000
could be:
<resource uri="map">
<resource uri="color">
<matrix_variable name="lat" type="xsd:float" required="true"/>
<matrix_variable name="long" type="xsd:float" required="true"/>
<matrix_variable name="scale" type="xsd:int" default="32000"/>
...
</resource>
...
</resource>
I think the semantics are different enough to path_variable to
warrant the new element.
