OSRR vs. OWL-S, WSMO, and others

The fundamental difference between OSRR and others, as I think, may be that
OSRR is requester-oriented, while others are provider-oriented.

OSRR focuses on how to tell requesters to understand and compose a request
to consume the service in an easy and simple way.

OWL-S, WSMO, etc. focuses on how service providers handle multi-services
together to accomplish the multi-purpose task. 

For service requesters, if they want to consume Web servcies by OWL-S, WSMO
approaches, they need to first understand the complex frameworks and
processes described in OWL-S, WSMO, etc. before they can consume the
servcies by integrating varied services themselves. 

The result may be only 5,000/600,000,000 people in this world can consume
the so-called semantic Web services. Dr. Battle just called for attention to
WSDL 2.0. That's a good footnote - if few people can use it, why do we care
about it when HTTP can do what WSDL 2.0 would provide?

I think we need to consider more about how requesters can understand and
consume the services, other than how providers process the request, and go
back to HTTP if it can handle everything we can do in a simple way.
