I think the problem with REST is that these kinds of semantics discussions are helpful _if_ you go all in. Frankly, I've never seen anything more than toy apps that went all in. Most of the world wants JSON-RPC and is bending towards REST to be "correct." I suspect that giving in to RPC would be cleaner overall. Until we build proper RPC composition (via lightweight monads, I'm sure) and let that sweep the world.
