restful WS and extensible XSLT

Hello www-tag,

A couple of xml.com items seemed relevant to TAG work. Firstly on REST
and Web Services:

> In Joe Gregorio's new column, The RESTful Web, he suggests that
> Amazon's new Simple Queue web service isn't as RESTful as Amazon seems
> to think. Joe offers an alternative, more RESTful design.

> Amazon's Simple Queue Service
> http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/05/restful.html

> In our second feature this week to discuss the Simple Queue service,
> Jason Levitt introduces the API and sets out to build an
> application--a chat room client and server--with some Javascript and
> the Simple Queue.

> Fun with Amazon's Simple Queue Service
> http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/05/sqs.html

Secondly on extensibility (here, extensibility of XSLT and the process
of allowing an extensibuility point, then getting interoperability with
those extensions, and presumably the last step of whether to collect
popular and interoperable extensions and roll them back into the core
specification.

> In Bob DuCharme's Transforming XML column, Bob reports on another XML
> developer community success, in this case, the growing success of
> EXSLT extension compatability across multiple XSLT processors.
