I don't think it takes a REST zealot - I've blasted REST a number of times on xml-dev and will likely do so again in the future - to see that REST at least fits into the Web architecture neatly, while it's pretty obvious that Web Services (as SOAP/WSDL/UDDI) does not, cannot, and probably should not. There's no need for historical revisionism whatsoever. If, as you said yesterday [1], "Web services (based on the existing Web services architecture) aren't constrained by Web technologies" could you please stop claiming that Web Services are or should be part of the Web? This seems like a remarkably obvious conclusion. There's lots of room on the Internet for things that aren't part of the Web.
