Heh, The only thing that didn't make sense was Steve thinking he was a heretic. :)
There's always been a semantic wall between those who push pure REST and those who push some implementation of it. I like the idea of an architectural framework for doing things RESTfully, but I don't see it as something that fits into the middleware; to me, if clients and servers are RESTful, your job is done. In fact for me, REST eradicates most needs for middleware, and I suspect this might be why some push REST back into middleware (either through staying alive or lack of understanding), but that's just pure speculation.
