I agree with the ends, but I'm not convinced about the means. REST does hint in this direction, certainly. But it's a pretty impoverished model in comparison with others that've been around for at least as long. The thing that made me look a little closer at REST was the POST-a-callback-URI idiom ... it has some surprising (to me, anyway) echos of Milner's Pi-calculus. But echos and intimations aren't quite enough ... implementation hints at best IMO. Cheers, Miles
