Why make effort to explicitly state that it's not a specification? That makes it more confusing, as it really is defining a standard interface for exposing and establishing Webhooks--i.e. pretty much a spec. So, when I read that it's not a spec, it made me question for a second whether I truly understood it.

I also agree with a previous commenter who said it's unclear what you guys' role is. Are you just defining this "spec" to help the world, and hoping that the world gets on board? Or, are you offering some sort of service? Also, how would a dev just start using these, when it requires that the services they are consuming "speak Rest Hook?". It just seems like a good idea, but not immediately useful. If there was a simple call to action that said, "Hey devs, let's all use these when building services", then the pitch would be more understandable (assuming that's what you guys are promoting).

BTW, I do think it's a worthwhile idea. Personally, I've found Webhooks to be very simple, thus I'm not really sold on the "research" that indicates devs struggle with them more than they would Resthooks. So, that's not the sell to me. It's having a standard, programmatic way of discovering Webhook availability and consuming them across various services/APIs that's the draw in my book.

Anyway, good luck.
