Gartner's claim that REST proponents rag on SOAP is backwards; we like SOAP, mostly. We just don't like SOA.I consider myself a REST convert, to the extent I think I understand it and its incarnation in HTTP. Though I don't understand the position above. Is there even a concrete definition of SOA with which to make this statement?
I thought SOA was a fairly innocuous term, being so vaguely defined that an SOA could be built using REST and HTTP.

Bingo - both correct observation. There is no formal definition of SOA. And SOA can be implemented using HTTP. Building SOA on WS-* is easier though.
