Some people complain about that, but I have yet to see anyone demonstrate that this is an actual problem. Show me the scenario where this is a show stopper.

You have all the permutations that sail under the name "REST" to some degree, where there seems to be no rules and everyone does something different. And then you have an RPC mechanism that is about two orders of magnitude tigher and people complain about not having required fields? How? Why? What are they on about?

I mean, if you write validation code for every type, by hand, you will probably still have to do less overall work than for REST'ish monstrosities. But since you have a lot more regularity, you can actually generate this code. Or use reflection.

How much time do people really spend on their interface types? After the initial design I rarely touch them. They're like less than a percent of the overall work.
