I didn't really mean to emphasize CRUD when I mentioned REST. Just that it is an example of a natural mapping for some domains. I'm not a fan of anything trying to solve distribute system problems with only middleware. The end-to-end mapping needs to traverse the messaging layer, but cannot really be made robust when the endpoint are naive to the distributed reality.
A similar analogy is how 2-phase commit protocols enact (virtual) escrow.
