As far as I know the only actual rest implementation, as Fielding envisioned it, a system where you send the entire representational state of the program with each request is the system Fielding coined the term REST to describe. The WEB.

Has any other system done this? where you send the whole application for each state with each state. project xandu?

I do find it funny how Fielding basically said "hey look at the web, isn't that a weird way to structure a program, lets talk about it." and every one sort of suffered a collective mental brain fart and replied "oh you mean http, got it"
