I think it's important to separate 3 concepts: "paid-for", "open-source" and "standards-based" It's possible to have *any* permutation of the three. (although open-source but not standards-based would be rather pointless) All the shouting is about last one: standards. With a common standard, open-source tree-hugging pot-smoking systems can talk to million-dollar grey-suit no-nonsense systems, and we all live happily ever after. Duncan, if you are prepared to publish, or adhere to an already published, standard for messaging webservices, that's brilliant. Whether you implement it in .NET or PDP-11 assembler, and whether it's open, closed or upside-down are all completely beside the point.
