(2007-06-06) Gregorio Do We Need Wadl

Joe Gregorio says we don't need WADL. If something fits into the general form of a collection, then you should be using Atom Standards. If something fits the general form of a search then use Open Search. If something fits into the general form of a form then use XHTML... If I download a WADL and compile my client today it will break tomorrow when you change the service. If, instead, you use HyperText, link following and request construction based on the HyperText and client state, then the interface won't break when you change servers, or URI structures.
