WADL sounds like a wonderful validation tool.

But shouldn't our primary goal be finding a consistent way to describe the APIs
for *application developers*.

Syntax tools, whether ancient notations like BNF or the latest XML concoction 
only tell you the syntax of the operation.
There also has to be consistent information that provides information to the 
reader as to when and why they would use
this specific operation, not just how to format it.

There is also a tendency of syntax oriented tools to omit vital state 
information,  particularly the expected sequence of operations.
