To add... the query string stuff is:
1) never cacheable (Queries are never supposed to be cached, the API
can never control it.)
2) easily confused with a POST, or URL-encode parameters
3) has no clear ordering of values
That's why RESTful stuff prefers to just use URLs the way they are.
It's also a THOUSAND times easier to test client with a URL like the one
chris shows, as, you can just make a file on a static server with that name,
and just use it.
