All I am trying to say it that you loose flexibility when you tie them together.
Whatever deployment consideration taken for the console will then directly affect the DC or REST interface.

I.e. moving the console to the DMZ (demilitarized zone), would require exposing the DC or REST interface there as well.
Do you know what I mean? Hence the idea to keep it decoupled and rely on the java protocol underneath.

Why is everyone so afraid of extra network hops and serialization overhead?
I think we are going to have a kickass remoting protocol, no?
