In the end, the position was essentially that SOAP had more clout and positive reputation and, was, thus, better than what seemed like the toy-ish REST. I don't believe this myself, but I can easily understand how that view previals and seems correct. My feel is that sky-high architects really like SOAP, and the end of the line coders like REST more. It's a weird (all to typical) breakout. So...I kind of lost track of my original point...but..it'd be interesting to hear more about REST being used in non-[Flickr|blogger|del.icio.us|etc.] apps.
