Using COD (Code On Demand) is perfectly legitimate in a RESTfull system although clearly it has most relevance within the browser environment. We could turn this around however and say, if you are developing a webapp that seems to require Javascript or Flash you would be very sensible to make sure that the design of the application was RESTfull. Why? The things that browsers can do declaratively change all the time. A few years ago it was not possible to do the things we do with CSS now. SVG and Canvas are making some Javascript and Flash effects look unwieldy and complex. Having a RESTfull design ensures that your application will be simple to maintain and easily upgradeable to new technology.
