  The 'spat' broke out on the OGC Mailing list, here's the May Archive: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/ http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/ There are about 100 messages about it on there. There's also this Open Letter: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API#Open_Letter_to_OGC_and_voting_members http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API#Open_Letter_...
