Just another course correction: I didn't mean that following standards
is useless or anything like that, I just meant that if you do
everything by the book it's quite difficult to also build a good user
interface as you have to involve the user in more
specification/implementation details. (Ref: BPEL)

We're balancing on the edge between specifications and the real web
services out there - we don't want to *not* be able to call a useful
web service just because it's not 100% WS-I compliant or uses some
funny namespace, but on the other hand we do want to encourage service
developers to use the standards as it makes life easier for us! :-)

You've been using the standards, which as I said we encourage, but due
to our existing pragmatic approach it will take a piece of work for us
to fully adapt - this will also help making Taverna more standard
compliant, which is a good thing!

Thanks for your bug reports.
