Hi Kevin,

The Sun Cloud API is RESTful. Trust me :-)

We need to address your point about examples, with use-cases, when we
have more solid API details around hypertext and JAX-RS.

People are already developing hypertext applications using JAX-RS they
are just doing the work themselves. For example, Felipe is doing just
that (he a link on this list to some slides out recently). IIRC Marc,
and he can confirm or deny, has developed hypertext applications in
the identity space using JAX-RS, but i do not think those are public.
And i am sure others have developed similar examples.

Paul.
