I agree "added value" or additional technology specifications have to be adapted to the Web. There have been many, many attempts to adapt the Web to use "traditional" distributed computing technologies, and these have not succeeded -- IIOP tunneling, MQ Series tunneling, HTTP-NG, all have failed. In Web services architecture, however, I think we have to be mindful of the need to balance the Web architecture with established distributed computing architectures. Clearly we can't just adapt an existing distributed computing architecture to the Web without significant change. The Web is established, and that won't be changed by any amount of reference to other architectures.

One of the issues mentioned is that anything we produce has to be cleanly integrated into the existing architecture of the Web. As I've found in the XML Protocol WG, coming to concensus on what this means is easier said than done. For this reason, I expect that most of our work here will be spent trying to determine what this means to us, and FWIW, I would consider this an excellent use of our time. I'd like to see this issue get some special attention in any process we follow. It's likely too early to say what form that attention should take, but one off-the-top-of-my-head suggestion would be to start discussing this immediately.
