Description

« Hide

Based on the fact that REST [1] is not a protocol but an architectural style the term "binding" is definitely wrong.

I think we could also choose to call it something more vague with restful in its name.

Generally, I would like to propose that in addition to changing the name throughout the specification we should
also try to adhere to the design principles of AtomPub.

I think that the use of the term "ReST" is minimally confusing, and definitively causing political discussions I'd prefer to avoid.

If what we want is *some* HTTP binding, call it "HTTP binding". If we're sue it's gonna be based in AtomPub, then let's called it that way.

How about 'RESTful AtomPub binding' since the goal of the TC is to provide a REST-ful binding.
