The fact that the URI template in the example contains a query string is immaterial, since the same approach would work for URIs that don't have query strings.

Although Joe's thingy doesn't "look" semantically the same as IDL, it is still providing the same semantic information except most of it is implicit. BTW, I'm not saying I want RESTful IDL, just that I think in this case, your argument is flawed. The IDL vs. Human Doc was a better argument.

With WSDL I have to look at both WSDL *and* schema. I’d still rather look at schema than WSDL any day of the week. With WSDL I have to look at both WSDL *and* schema.
