"There's a reason that most popular APIs will fail this test -- the people who built them were thinking about more important issues than achieving some kind of religious purity."
What issues are those? The article does give reasons for each recommendation that go beyond an appeal to RESTful Authority. I would be curious to hear how the criticized techniques solve some important issue better than the article's recommendation. For example, is there a specific reason that API tokens are better than Digest authentication?
