In your scenario, the sim is simulating a rotating object, and is broadcasting the current angle to clients. Other examples are text chat and presence notifications from the sim. These don't fit into a RESTful model. SL clients also generate "events" that don't fit into a RESTful model, e.g. current gaze location, or (again) chat/presence. These *can* be transported over HTTP e.g. client->server as POST with minimal response, and server->client as a GET-based long poll (see draft-lentczner-vwrap-foundation-00 - which uses LLIDL!). But using HTTP in a non-RESTful way for this is an implementation details, and some have expressed desire to describe these "events" (and LLIDL as a whole) independent of the transport.
