This might be of interest to the WG. >From the WWW2010 conference: "Closing Panel: Do we need (more) research on REST?" With Mike Amundsen, Stuart Charlton, Cesare Pautasso, Ian Robinson, Sam Ruby, Erik Wilde
http://www.ws-rest.org/Panel The MP3 is worth a listen if you want to get a feel for the "state of REST." It touches on many topics near to our hearts here at OSLC including how to use MIME types and what makes a good REST API. Unfortunately, they don't really come to any conclusions on when new MIME types should be invented. - Dave
