I think you're being remarkably naive here. The Web Services people are selling their stuff as what XML should be, consuming resources at the W3C and elsewhere that might likely be better spent on other approaches, and spending a lot of time dissing notions of 'ad hoc XML messaging.' The question isn't whether a conflict exists. The question is whether to approach a well-funded well-hyped opponent with technical arguments or to refocus on the tech and ignore the opponent. At this point, I thinking the latter option makes a lot more sense. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
