I've personally given up trying to save the term REST. It was hijacked and will never recover completely at this point. What I've been looking for is a good alternative name. Sometimes I'll write out representational state transfer which is clever enough to get past most REST pretenders but I have yet to find something short.

I guess I should clarify my statement. The article is right on the dot. The point here is that arguments like this really need a new label. That's all I'll say.

But I didn't think that he used the terms too loosely. What do you think was lacking/superflous in his arguments ?

I meant this to apply in general. Rather than try to correct people we should introduce people into the architectural style and since REST already means something to many, it only seeds confusion.
