Part of the TAGs job is to interpret and clarify.  A good example of this is
the finding that you reference.  It's strange that you would quote a TAG
finding to support your claim, then dispute whether the TAG has
responsibility in interpreting the web architecture.

The TAG is also looking documenting at "what is a resource".   There has
been great debate on this, and you know that.

Further, wrt SOAP, the TAG has been asked, by a TAG member, to review SOAP
1.2 wrt web architecture.  The TAG hasn't yet issued a finding on this.
It's premature to claim that various SOAP modelling styles are in violation
of web architecture, given the TAG hasn't issued a finding on what you
claim.

And whether a stock classifies an "important" resource wrt URI assignment is
debatable.

The real point is that this area is still in the air, and open to
interpretation.

Let's let the TAG do the work in their forum and when they come out with
more definitive work, then we can look at the examples.  That work for you?

Cheers,
Dave
