  I had not recalled that was Liskov's work. I do have a vague recollection of basically the same thing coming out of Microsoft Research in the late 90's, but I can't recall if that was a paper or a patent application. Promise chaining is handy but unless the response to the first query is a naked value like an ID or a user name then you need logic to extract the 2nd question from the 1st answer, which is going to require running logic on the server and while not DDOSing yourself. There's a lot of relatively cool stuff that was done in the 80's and 90's that had not really absorbed the import of the Morris Worm.
