I'll appeal to Mark on this one. I'll appeal to Roger, since he lives closer to the Real World than either Mark or I do :-) I was thinking specifically of the issue he raised with respect to GET being frowned upon by many IT shops because it was seen as potentially exposing confidiential information in intermediaries, browser histories, etc. Perhaps a thorough understanding of REST principles wouldn't lead to this problem, but, uhh, the sysadmins out there seem to barely understand the Web as it is, much less the vision of the Web as it could be.
