Hmm...of course you need shared semantics for communication and
of course client code has to be written in terms of shared semantics.

The advantage of REST is that it limits the amount of shared semantics
necessary to an absolute minimum thereby minimizing the coordination
cost between client and service developer.

I cannot see a major problem here, actually :-)
