[PRL] REST?

[Mitchell Wand]

Hmm, looking at LtU, I found a discussion that talked about REST APIs
vs PITA APIs.  I finally found that PITA was an acronym for Pain In
The A**, but that REST was the name what appears to be the Web Design
Pattern du Jour. (or maybe the "Distributed Software Architecture" du
Jour). 

Anybody here know about this and how it fits into the PLT conception
of web services?
