+1, I agree completely. 

IMO, the Tag should be responsible for clarifying architectural 
principles, and should help workgroups to succeed in producing 
specifications consistent with that architecture.  First of all, this 
approach helps to ensure that, over time, everyone doing the work is 
"bought in" to the overall architecture.  Secondly, it is the individual 
workgroups that have essential expertise in the particular specifications 
being developed. 

For both of those reasons, I strongly urge the Tag to work with the XMLP 
workgroup to agree on the pertinent Web architecture principles and to 
explore any tradeoffs involved in various approaches.  I think the XMLP 
workgroup should be responsible for drafting any SOAP-specific 
recommendations or notes.  The Tag should be responsible for drafting 
notes and recommendations having to do with overall Web architecture. Just 
my opinion, but I do feel quite strongly about it.  Thank you.
