RE: "Reliable" web services for Next Big Thing? (was RE: Agendafor 5 December WSA telcon)

Well, again, I think it depends upon scope, and I was just trying to point out a very simple starting point to provide some level of reliability.  I realize whatever we do has to be within a broader context, so it needs to be extensible, yes.  What I want to avoid is trying to solve the whole problem up front.

While agreeing that this is simplier, isn't reliability a qos feature and
should/could be grounded or encapsulated as such?
