It's useful though, in the eternal fight with management and clients. REST, for 
example, by its mere existence as an acronym, has proved a valuable tool in 
preventing the once inexorable rise of the idiocy of heavyweight SOAPy 
interfaces, whilst meaning little more than "doing the bloody obvious".

The banner of good Sir AJAX, too, means that lots of things it's always been 
sensible to do on the client-side get looked at properly.

You can't get anywhere without a flag, any more.
