When the intention of the REST interface is very clear, it makes no sense to complicate the protocol by having special names for the id parameter.

Clearly this:

/organization?id=n /contact?ce_id=n

is better than this:

/organization?org_id=n /contact?ce_id=n

Then what about the interfaces that take in more than one ID?

I vote nay for now.

ThomasLocke commented 11 years ago

Yea, this is a Bad Idea. I've just taken a dislike to both org_id and specifically ce_id. Maybe plain oid and cid could work?

I'm gonna be a bully and close this for now. Let's reopen when we have good suggestions to alternatives.
