RE: Verbiage from TAG

Before this thread gets out of control, please note that this section was
contributed by 1 person and has not been reviewed nor approved by the TAG.
There is an expectation of more text coming.  We were even talking about
removing this section if the TAG doesn't get the extra text.  I agree with
Roger's comments and will be active on the discussion.
 
Cheers,
Dave

Subject: Verbiage from TAG



The most recent architecture document from the TAG includes the following.
I personally do not understand why SOAP is being called an architectural
style and what a meta-architecture is.

4. Interaction 
This section will describe the architectural principles and constraints
regarding interactions between components, including such topics as network
protocols and interaction styles, along with interactions between the Web as
a system and the people that make use of it. This will include the role of
architectural styles, such as REST and SOAP, and the impact of
meta-architectures, such as Web Services and the Semantic Web.
