That's fine. But earlier you said; ] Yes, to use the word "architecture" for both REST and SOA is not really ] correct. I mean REST is defined in the context of software system ] architectures, while SOA is the name of a style of IT design, or an approach to ] IT. It is not the same thing at all, and trying to compare them is not really ] appropriate, IMHO. So can we agree that one *can* compare REST to SOA, just not to "service orientation"?
