After reading Clemens' "Teaching Indigo to do REST/POX" I, a MEST-er, am compelled to retort. Of course, this has nothing to do with Indigo, or Clemens, who I highly respect. Just that I think the whole REST thing needs to be put to rest. This will doubtless stir the fires of the REST/MEST war again, so I'll keep to my point - or rather, just raise a question:

A non idempotent message: Withdraw $100 Billion. Easily mapped to REST.
An idempotent message: If transaction #X has not been processed, withdraw $100 Billion as transaction #X. How do you express that REST-fully?

In my opinion, MEST enables idempotency better than REST by simply removing the limitations that the REST verbs put in place.
