Is REST for the weary? (or wary?)

Last week, Britton talked about the REST approach, based more on existing Web standards and protocols than newer Web services specifications coming out of standards bodies. IONA CTO Eric Newcomer shares his thoughts on the REST vs. SOAP debate that is raging within Web services circles in a recent blog entry at WebServices.Org. While Eric is more in the SOAP camp, he adds that "it's a matter of finding the right tool for the right job." Stop making sense!
