Tim, I get the feeling that in points 2 and 3 you make the assumption that the services are stateful. Unlike OGSI, Web services are not stateful. There are no concurrency related concerns there. Application domain specific infrastructures, like OGSI, can apply semantics like statefulness to Web services and then they will have to deal with concurrency issues. However, such issues do not exist in Web services where message exchange is the only thing that is defined. Attributes should just be convenient way to describe a message exchange pattern where a message is returned/sent from/to a service. Nothing more, nothing less. What extra semantics are applied to attributes or to the services that have attributes as part of their interfaces should be application domain specific. Just my 2c, .savas.
