Paul Downey:  "... meaning neutral":  in the sense 
that no bytes change state, true.  In the sense that 
synapses change state, not true.

Again, if you have to sell SOA or web services to 
the meatware, it is very useful to have such models. 
So in the thread, "Will the Real SOA Standup", the 
definition that had the most utility with the least 
ambiguity is the third one.

The problem of the web, the blogs, etc., is the 
self-obsessed nature of the geeks who code and 
who actually believe the web revolution is driven 
by them rather than driving them.  All of the 
decisions that determine the direction of the 
evolution of the web are being made by people 
who never write a line of code.  I know the myth 
is otherwise and it is a very useful myth, but it 
is exactly that and no more.
