That requirement wasn't specific to any particular use, be it operational, management, or otherwise. It was primarily meant to drive home the point that agreeing on interfaces at the architectural level (via interface constraints) is a really wonderful thing to do, and empirically, the only way we know to build very large scale systems. I believe REST's uniform interface is pretty special amoungst application interfaces, but it's not the be all and end all of them; just the "be most and end most" 8-). > I sort of interpreted some comments David Booth > made to be along these (REST) lines, although Mike says I was probably > reading too much into them, and posted a "Well, maybe" response that I > don't expect you to agree with very much. > > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2003Dec/0068.html Yah, that's what I was responding to.
