That's kind of how I feel about it as well. It's my understanding ARI's original intention was to provide a REST API that allows you to build detailed, channel centric Asterisk applications (such as the app_queue replacement) without having to resort to writing C code. A lot of what Sung is trying to do sounds like it would more appropriately fit as AMI type actions instead, IMHO. All that being said, I think sometimes we limit the potential of ideas based on solely preconceived notions. It's possible that the original intentions of ARI could be transcended in appropriate ways. On the other hand, and as mentioned by Josh and others, there is potential danger in permitting arbitrary dialplan application execution that could come back and haunt us. If you were to ask me my honest opinion, I feel a lot of what Sung wants to do lies outside of ARI's original design. Just my .02.
