I brought this up becase, as I say there, most Web services people incorrectly call HTTP, SMTP, and other application protocols "transport protocols". I expect that many WG members voted "Y" with the expectation that they were voting to separate out all protocols (where "means of access" might also include HTTP, for example). Am I right? From my POV, we need to be clear that application protocols cannot be separated out from Web services; that if a Web service uses an application protocol, that it should be using the semantics of that protocol.
