Regarding your answer to question #2: “If code generation is acceptable, would you welcome WADL? If yes, what to do with generated client types with respect to the change management ?”

WADL can be useful to document services:

Regarding question #4: “Would you expect in the future even software modules interacting with each other through a common generic interfaces?”

You might want to take a look at NetKernel (http://1060.org/). I haven’t used it personally, but the 1060 folks gave me a briefing. And from what they told me, long ago they independently derived the RESTful principles of the Web (uniform interdace, caching, etc.) and boiled them down into the innards of a single application server. From perusing their mailing lists, however, it seems they haven’t fully embraced HTTP. Presumably, that’ll be in some future release.
