That was me in <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sws-ig/2006Mar/0052.html> wherein I wrote: """ 4) Xuan doesn't like SOAP, and is willing to conflate SOAP and WSDL"""" I derived this from <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sws-ig/2006Mar/0051.html>: """At last, my question then is, since the same service and function can be deployed by REST service, why do we need the serialization/deserialization process, which means, WSDL can be deprecated, although many people are not happy to see such a conclusion. As for service semantics, we need more standards and agreements on describing the meaning of the service. If we can describe it, then we can invoke it directly over HTTP without SOAP/WSDL. It is not an assertion, but now a demonstrated fact.""" But hey, you say so many things, so confusingly, I can't be to confident. I'm happy to withdraw that claim. But you certainly conflated them. > However, > it is true that we can find an easy way to replace the full > functionalities > offered by SOAP and WSDL.

Although some > people > may not like the OSRR approach, Yes, we don't care for a non-standard subset of what WSDL offers esp. when the proponent makes wild and false claims about it and wsdl. See <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sws-ig/2006Mar/0054.html>.

[snip] Actually, what I hate is lies, distortion, confusion, obscurity, and bogus reasoning. Look to your own nakedness. Cheers, Bijan.
