Re:Why REST is not a silver bullet for service integration

I think that part of the problem with REST implied by the article is that it is purely request/response, rather than supporting full bidirectional communication.
To me the term "temporal coupling" is skipping some details, since the real consideration is the duration of the transaction vs the duration of the transport session. REST-over-HTTP can't directly represent transactions which span TCP sessions, and this is a problem if the transaction is very long or the connection is choppy.
