Earthly Powers

Tim gets it

Tim Ewald says:

I finally get REST. Wow.

Cool! Note the healthy pragmatic attitude (no RESTful hammer thinking every problem is a RESTful nail):

That doesn't mean I'll use it for everything. I use TDS to get to SQL Server. I use WCF for RPC-style communication between distributed components within major systems. I'll use this model when I cross major system boundaries, especially when I don't own both sides. I'll let you know how it turns out.

 
And the quote from Sam Ruby by Tim is so good it is worth quoting thrice, the REST style is:

is of the Web, not over the Web

I may start to refering to WS-* as OWS-* to make the distinction clear.
