Sam,
That's a great spot - thanks for posting it.
I'm not convinced that MS claims for 'REST' stand up under scrutiny, but it is interesting to see AtomPub getting a boost.
I thought this was quite interesting too: http://www.defuze.org/archives/171-atom-and-atompub-were-failed.html
I'm reasonably happy with AtomPub's progress, and think it will continue to do OK. If I were paranoid and cynical, I would point out that anyone who offers users AtomPub access to their data has given up the ability to lock them in, and that this might be part of the explanation why lots of services aren't yet. -Tim
