Is there a sufficiently stable definition for "REST" or "RESTful" we can
reference from a future RFC?  I can't think of anything authoritative, and
search engines point me to things that I don't imagine we'd consider to be
stable enough.  Wikipedia seems to be the closest thing; do we allow such
references in RFCs these days?

Thanks,
-MSK
