For the record, I still think <a href="https://wadl.dev.java.net/">WADL</a> is going to be useful to many, but I think <a href="http://bitworking.org/projects/atom/draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-15.html">APP</a> is going to be a whole lot more useful and it doesn&#39;t need or use WADL.</p><p><b>Update</b>: Pat Meuller has <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/pmuellr?entry=wadl_waffling&amp;ca=dat-bl">more on the WADL question</a>. Apparently, there were some interesting hallway discussions about about out at IBM RTP. I just caught the tail-end of that on IRC.<br></p>
