I disagree with this on two points. First, SOAP is doing a harder problem, so saying it's just like "use XML" is a gross simplification, like comparing "use ASCII" to "use HTTP." Second, from my corner of the world interop is pretty darn good. > It's interesting that they are experiencing such success with only XML > and DTDs, not SOAP, WSDL and XML Schema. But as the article says: They started before SOAP was available. I understand they plan to migrate to SOAP. They like the web-services soap/wsdl/schema stuff. /r$
