I did a quick scan of the material and that links. here are my comments:
1) very cool idea of making link-following a "built-in" feature. I like the handling of URI templates, too.
2) not so happy about the path-following, tho. IOW, looks like the code is bound to a single path of links to get to a result. that means changes in the server paths will break the client. would be nice to be able to do something like provide a starting place and an ending place and allow the client code to figure it's own path based on server responses.
3) cool support for HAL. any plans to support other hypermedia formats (including HTML)?
BTW - sorry you didn't get any ping from me on the hypermedia-web list. this is very interesting stuff.
Cheers.
