The great thing about ARI is that any of those methods could work. You
can use whatever is appropriate for you and your team.

Since the ARI interface is inherently asynchronous and event driven,
you'll probably find an event driven state machine easier to deal
with. But there's no reason why it has to be that way.

It will be interesting to see how apps get coded up as people start
really using the API.
