I thought the article did a pretty good job of covering the various points that have been kicked around, except that the statement "IBM itself does not support REST" might be taken to mean that "You can't use IBM tools to develop REST services". The Zap Think analyst brought up the point that without something you can buy (REST in a box), there's a fairly large contingent of developers, managers, and C?Os out there who'll never even consider it. Not that I'm arguing that's valid, but I think there's something to that.
