[not wearing chair hat] I think it's controversial because it's not at all clear what the "Web Architecture" is. The most casual reading of the TAG list should disabuse anyone who thinks that TimBL and Roy Fielding have it clear in their minds, agree with each other, etc. I'd prefer to factor out the commonalities, to try to bridge the gaps between Web/REST and OMA/distributed objects. Maybe some non-normative Note or Appendix on how what we ultimately come up with differs from REST would be useful. But it has to, IMHO, be called "REST" not "THE Web Architecture." Reasonable people can disagree on how closely REST theory matches Web practice.
