TimBray makes some pragmatic points about using ReST.

just getting HTTP right (e.g. Http Caching) gives you lots of benefits
maybe Web Cookie-s aren't quite evil
a Messag Ing mentality is key
I'm pretty convinced that AtomPub would work about as well if you overloaded the U and D in CRUD on Http Post, carefully and respectfully. Having said that, I'm beginning to believe that the theoretical benefits of HttpPut will work out pretty well in practice, and I'm glad that AtomPub now gives [PUT] something useful to do.
