But now, just recently, that TC has changed its name and charter. It is now the Web Services for Interactive Applications (WSIA) TC. I get the distinct impression that web services specs are the hostage of a heated vendor war to be the first to really rake in bucks selling web service tools and servers. The vendors are thrashing about in a frenzy looking for that quick rubber stamp on a "standard compliant" label they can stick to their products. It would probably be a good thing to keep this out of the W3C until things cool down.
