The best thing that REST still doesn't do well is that you can point your tools at the SOAP discovery address and they will generate all the stubs for you, CORBA style.

Except that, it is mostly like REST. With a very convoluted specification that you can't hope to match on your own code (so, use tools), and tools disagree on the details (so, be careful to avoid the details).
