I thought I would make a comment on the GXA alignment. My educated guess is that most of the initial GXA specs were derived from work done on HailStorm. For example, way before SOAP-RP (WS-Routing) saw the light of day, HailStorm had pretty much the exact same headers if you look through the old SDKs and whitepapers...

It was my understanding, that they grew to realize that they had not succeeded well initially with HailStorm because of some proprietary approaches and not based on standards. They re-organized around the GXA effort, which is a good thing. They also realized, based on feedback from people like us, that what they initially gave us was far from capable to develop real, production Web Services. To get there, Web Services need Security, Routing, Inspection, Robustness, etc. Thus GXA. And as far as I understand it, this is being done with IBM and is totally based on Industry standards. So when Lucovsky says "Web Services have a way to go" he is just speaking the truth.
