I certainly agree, that this will not cover "high-rest". But, I also already
said, that I consider "low-rest" to be service-oriented and "high-rest"
resource oriented. Consequently, a service model may look like:

- PUT -> deploy a service
- GET -> describe the service (using the mechanisms brainstormed about here)
- POST -> execute
- DELETE -> undeploy

If you want to include "high-rest" you probably need something completely
different. I am just trying to find the equivalent of the standard soa model
proclaimed by ws-* people and also, if this is viable or not.

Also note, that this approach takes care of the directory aspect (no uddi
required, just a sitemap and/or search engine).
