the current standards need to leverage and harmonise with each other, instead of adding more and more seperate specs.
in addition, u are spot on re web services, letting marketing define user requirements is fine ( to a certain extent ), but letting them design software architecture is AntiPattern #1.
but just as lawyers send volumes of information to 'baffle' the courts, large corps(sun, m$, and company) try to flood the individual with too much information; in the quest to be seen as the high moral road with respect to development and architecture.
there needs to be a active response to the web services effort, from the developer community instead of what is occuring now.
cheers, jim fuller
