The name of the feature there probably doesn't look too important, but 
still I would argue that "rest" is essentially meaningless unless you 
anticipate the standardID is to differentiate bindings (REST vs SOAP 
(shudder) vs something else). If you envision other capabilities (e.g. 
standardising a sychronous job execution pattern in UWS) then I would 
name the current one in a way that both would make sense when you name 
the new one. On the other hand, if you are sure that UWS will only ever 
be one capability then don't name it and just use

ivo://ivoa.net/std/UWS#1.1

In DataLink we called it #links-1.0 with no particular reason to think 
there would be other capabilities later, but still naming that one for 
what it is and allowing for other capabilities to be defined later.

my 2c,
