RE: "Web service" or "web service"

So any chance of you telling us what the right thing is for a whole bunch of
areas?  Maybe the Saniva W "WS-Doctrine" or the "SWWS-Arch" or "WS according
to Sanjiva"?  If WSD goes against what you want, just punt it to ws-arch and
then it could just do what you want?  That would save us all a whack of time
:-)

Cheers,
Dave
