>Using URI templates sound promising.

I sure hope not.  URI templates are a reasonable way to try to put a
consistent layer on top of a bunch of existing inconsistent http
services.  But in this situation, where we're able to spec the URIs
from scratch, they're just an extra level of unneeded complexity and
cruft.

R's,
John
