You bring up a really good point here.

I doubt it. I vaguely recall there were WSDL backwards compatibility 
checkers, which implies there must be XSD backwards compatibility 
checkers.  I don't know of anything that can do this for WADL. And 
without some mechanism to define a JSON format in a machine readable 
way, I'm not even sure how you could possibly accomplish this for JSON.

We should.
