There seems to be concensus on that last point, I think; that Web services are *not* the Web. But since you're asking what the TAG *could* do, I'd humbly suggest that it would be helpful for the TAG to simply point out that there are solutions to the problems Web services are trying to solve - machine-to- machine communication/integration problems - within the constraints of Web architecture. This should have the desirable effect of scoping the TAG's advice to being provided in the spirit of trying to help the community to make the same design choices that made the Web such a success. As nothing like that has been said, AFAIK, I think you're totally right to push back, Dave. Just my 2c... plus a little bit of wishful thinking. Mark. -- Mark Baker.
