What seems to be lost in all this "flower blooming" is 
the notion of interoperability - the only reason to even
look at Web services.

No one is going to use *any* of these specs, regardless of
how great they are or who publishes them if they don't 
interoperate - and i mean in product shipped by a wide
variety of vendors, not just on paper or in some one-off 
fest held behind closed doors.

Would anyone here like to argue that the list found in

  http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2004/04/01/WS-Mumble

is coherent, or sensible, or viable, or generally that the parrot is 
not dead?
