Re: Regular Web of Things call on scripting API

Whether it is useful or not in the long term for the WG, as agreed on the
first call on the scripting API, I have created a very first draft for an
alternative scripting API proposal based on REST and data descriptions.

For now I have avoided hot topics like actions vs properties events etc, in
this version data is just properties and values.

We have an implementation of a very similar (OCF) API, so there is
practical proof the concept is working at least in one way.

I will keep it in my fork for further development until seen whether it is
worth submitting to w3c/wot:

https://github.com/zolkis/wot/blob/master/proposals/restructured-scripting-api/intel-proposal.md

Comments, corrections, suggestions are welcome.

I will keep adding stuff to it, explaining more and more concepts and
details - but early feedback is very important: if it turns out this is a
completely wrong direction, it would be useful to know it early so that I
can spend my time in a better way :).

If there is time, we could discuss some aspects of it on the next call, or
the week after.

Best regards,
Zoltan
