Yes. I never claimed otherwise; part of the reason for this is
that I’m writing plain old user-operated web apps, not (yet)
machine-operated XML-based web services.

And since I use cookies purely for authentication (see merlyn’s
article on how to use them), it won’t be very hard to switch to
a cookie-less modus operandi.

I don’t expect clients to construct these URLs manually. Of
course they get there by following links from elsewhere on the
interface. The idea is to view URIs locations of a resource,
which can be manipulated by the appropriate HTTP verbs – as
opposed to viewing them as the name of a callable function.

You are forgetting HTTP authentication. You’d visit (in common
URI syntax) http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/. REST does not preclude
authentication with its expose-resources-as-URIs approach.
