The best mapping for this is to send the plan over an HTTP post. Such a thing is far easier then coming up with a bunch of abstract resources, and numerous http requests to interact with them.

Funny, while back Neuchatel I outlined the problems with deployment plans and how the could be mapped to REST.
Asking wether or not it would be useful to go down the REST way at all or just stick to an RPC protocol.
IMO both are fine, but it should be done correctly. In this case we should not use the term REST anymore, you are right.
