Nice summary. It simply re-enforces my definition.

My definition is "close enough" for me. I live in the real world, not academia :-)

I will give you this though:

I had to write a chunk of .Net code to format the XML parameters the way I wanted them, so the XMLSERVICE way isn't without its flaws :-)

However if Zend has chosen to adopt it, it's worth a look to anyone following this thread.

And now you, Richard, are saying that it's just one more small deviation
of naming the program and parameters in an XML document is okay, and
it's still REST.

GET
http://example.com/cgi-bin/xmlcgi.pgm?db2=*LOCAL&uid=scott&pwd=pasword&ipc=/tmp/inventory&ctl=*sbmjob&xmlin=<...xmlfile
with program definitions, parameters, return types, etc....>

I mean... at what point does it cease being "close enough" to RESTful?
