I think I'll try to follow Rest better. Anyhow, I still prefer JSON. To me it's a more concise way to explain data, with nice syntax for arrays and maps. I'd rather jump through a few hoops to implement true Rest than try to craft verbose XML schemas for simple things like arrays and maps. ATOM and RSS I think are good for their main use cases but aren't as generic of syntax as JSON.
