REST v WS-*: Compare and contrast

I've been spending a lot of time looking for information that compares and/or contrasts WS-* with REST. As I go, I've been accumulating links here and there, saving them in various places (bookmarks in my browser, on the desktop, and at bloglines), but this weekend, I decided that it was about time I got with the program and availed myself of the services offered at del.icio.us. Once I'd gotten an account set up and had moved over all my bookmarks I had lying around in varoius places, I spent a good deal of time Sunday perusing a few email threads over on the ws-arch mail archives and a few more over in the xml-dev archives.

As I find things that appear to be of the REST vs. WS-* ilk, I'll add them to the restvsoap tag that I set up on del.icio.us. I'm hoping that at least a few other people notice the tag and are able to add some useful pointers as well. I'll try to limit myself to using the restvsoap tag only for things that have useful comparisons rather than just being flame-fests; hopefully others will do the same.
