[Wsf-general] WSRequest support for REST

[Jonathan Marsh]

The WSDL HTTP binding provides support for mapping a list of name-value
pairs (as expressed in a specifically constrained XML Schema type) to HTTP.
You envision a programming model where the user can pass these name/value
pairs directly into the WSRequest rather than wrapping them first in XML?
