The recent uptake of interest in REST is a mixed blessing. It's good to
see, but I've seen arrant nonsense around transactions, binding, service
descriptions; basically interpreting REST to mean whatever one wants to
mean. That's fine for things like WS and SOA which are meaning free, but
it simply won't do for a well-documented style. The technical value
needs to be squarely protected from vendors, analysts marketing
departments and on-the-wagon rpc coders.

I've set my bozo bit for WS and SOA types who are repositioning
themselves as REST stalwarts. Spotting a bandwagons is not an indicator
of competence.
