In my opinion, REST is the best protocol to make two pieces of software communicate with each other, because of its simplicity, yet, the standard library lacks in that regard in my opinion.

Fair enough. I guess the real question is, how much advantage is RESTRequestHandler over directly subclassing BaseHTTPRequestHandler? Maybe it'd be worth it just to simplify that case.
