I think that's a bad example, because it almost perfectly matches up with REST.

user = UserApi.get(id)

user.name = "Clay"

UserApi.put(user)

Does using put instead of save really bother you that much?

The tight coupling doesn't matter if you are building a web service. HTTP is how they work.

What bothers me is that if I have a verb called "transmogrify" in my API's domain language the REST purists will try to tell me not to use that verb, because some preexisting generic CRUD-type verb can be made to work instead. Sorry, no, that's awkward.
