Hi Paul,
I just posted an informational Internet-Draft regarding a JSON media
type to support HTTP PATCH partial modifications
Thanks for sharing, this is really interesting.
However, as far as I understand REST (applied to HTTP), the major pros
of "transferring states" instead of procedure calls is that :
- GET is safe,
- PUT and DELETE are idempotent.
Those 2 properties have really important impacts on scaling.
Of course you can PATCH but this is not RESTful... and then, you don't
get benefits from Fielding's architecture...

Aurélien
