Is it our intention that the C and D in the venn diagrams represent only 
the # of verbs, or other pieces of the architectural styles?

If C is REST, then it is also stateless (no cookies).

Therefore, D, in addition to removing constraints on # of verbs, would also 
allow state to be stored outside the client (cookies).

If we only consider # verbs, then C is a subset of D (completely nested 
within it).  If more than verbs, then C may extend partially outside of D.

I think we want the venn diagrams to represent more than just # verbs, but 
I'm not sure what else is in or out.  Probably want C to overlap D a little 
more (it looks like it might ever so slightly, but a little more would be 
easier to see).  We could then discuss what constitutes that part of C that 
is outside of D.
