Indeed for that matter who drew the line in the sand at which the evolution of the Web itself ceased? Perhaps there is a more general point to be made here: I think we could shoe-horn BTP into REST (being delibrately oblivious of the technical detail we'd get into as we did it). Other people claim they can shoe-horn other protocols into a REST style. Seems a lot of shoe-horning is going on for the sake of architectural "purity." Don't get me wrong I am (surprisingly, even to me :-) ) a REST "sympathiser" but REST is as prime a candidate for evolution as any other piece of this puzzle. Jim
