True -- I wasn't primarily criticising the API design as such, merely noting 
that the term 'REST' has a fairly narrow definition.

That said, as a separate point, I think the REST design paradigm is a good one, 
in the sense that it decomposes the problem in a way that I, for one, find 
useful.  It does lead to longer URIs, yes, but that's surely a very minor 
inconvenience, if it's an inconvenience at all.

Best wishes,

Norman
