Hi Randy,

There's a lot of confusion over terminology in this area. REST is a 
particular approach to working with distributed resources, and most of 
what's being done under the name of REST doesn't actually match the 
rules. What's really becoming popular is POX - Plain Old XML, exchanged 
using any convenient protocol (HTTP, TCP, SMTP, etc.). POX approaches 
offer much of the flexibility of SOAP Web services without requiring 
complex frameworks to implement.


WOA seems an inappropriate restriction to HTTP, so I don't really see 
this as a big innovation.

BTW, I'm going to be passing through Tucson tomorrow afternoon and again 
on Monday afternoon. If anyone has some needs in the Web services realm 
I'd be glad to stop by and discuss.
