Hmmm, not so sure about it: you have to implement at least one reference
implementation or your API will remain there forever unimplemented.

I've saw that and, don't ask me why, all my FS alarms went off at once:
it's a potentially great playground for hackers since the data entry
points are multiplied by a factor of ten or hundred.
Taking web service granularity to the single XML 'atom' (element or
attribute) is, IMO, FS squared. Appealing on paper, but waaaaaaay too
much freedom for you and normally this bites you back in the ass,
expecially on Microsoft software, with the form of security holes and
vulnerabilities.
Can you imagine the cross-site scripting problems with the above if some
IE bug is discovered?
Ah, don't make me think about it.
