Sure. Nothing I said suggests REST doesn't work. It does.
Nothing about REST suggests that it is the total solution
for all messaging systems development, for example, systems
that don't bind to HTTP. I do expect many systems will.
There are systems that will need more than the average
security features and some will use other protocols and
even other encodings.

is a good overview of the WS spec set and architecture.

Len,
The ebXML Registry is using http-binding (aka REST) interfacing that
people may
find instructive to review, and especially the use of security and
digital certificate
management in tandem with registry.
