[uf-rest] "Casual Web Services" and Well Designed Urls

[Mark Baker]

What does "out of band" mean here?

If it means "not in the messages being exchanged", then I agree that
REST has something to say about that viz a viz the hypermedia
constraint.  For example, I believe that REST precludes a media type
specification from declaring, say, that if you append "/help" to any
URI, that you'll get a new URI identifying a "help page" for the
original URI.

That said, I can't see what it is about Mike's original message (or
welldesignedurls.org) that breaks that constraint.

Mark.
