There seems to be very little traffic on this list (about a dozen posts this year, with the most recent question in November remaining unanswered, AFAICT). There is no word of a ?MQ profile to match the AMQP profile (only a brief mention of a possible adapter on the mailing list). Online there is just a smattering of blog references and talks, with most material pointing straight back to restms.org. I've also noticed that the 2/RestMS spec itself needs some TLC; it is currently duplicated on the one page, with slight differences between the two copies, and every spec is labelled either draft or raw. I am very keen to explore the ideas in RestMS and implement a comet engine using it, but my investigations leave me wondering whether it has legs. What is happening with RestMS and where does iMatix see it fitting into their overall strategy? More specifically, I am confused about something in the 2/RestMS spec. It states that everything happens under a domain, but nothing in the 1/RestTL spec indicates how, e.g., a public queue under a domain should be encoded as a URL, since there is only room for a schema (restms) and a resource type (queue). Then won't two queues with the same name, but under different domains, have identical URLs? I am still absorbing the documents, so it's possible I have missed something obvious.
