I wholeheartedly second on this. I'm not within the REST-bashing camp
but I do think REST is too limited to provide a sound and flexible
approach to base a whole and extensive Web Service architecture on it.

Although, REST may be sufficient for some Web Services it is not
sufficient for all (consider intermediaries, header processing, etc.).
