Hard agree.

I think about it as:

- Hypermedia controls were been deemphasized, leading to a ton of workarounds to REST

- REST is a perfectly suitable interface for AI Agents, especially to audit for governance

- AI is well suited to the task of mapping the web as it exists today to REST

- AI is well suited to mapping this layout ontologically

The semantic web is less interesting than what is traversable and actionable via REST, which may expose some higher level, reusable structures.

The first thing I can think of is `User` as a PKI type structure that allows us to build things that are more actionable for agents while still allowing humans to grok what they're authorized to.
