Or at least the non-REST crowd could argue on a more informed basis. I like my lightbulb example. It's worked on two previous occasions to give folks epiphanies; GET on a URI returns "0" or "1" depending on the state of the bulb. PUT on that same URI with "0" turns the bulb off, "1" turns it on. That's it, at least to get your head around state transfer, and past the mistaken assumption that the Web is for humans. I recommend followups to www-ws@w3.org too. MB -- Mark Baker.
