If we are talking about feature/functions of what Webservices need to offer, then I do not think any of these fit the bill. I am not sure if REST can be harvested for features. Its nice to have constraints, but before we impose constraints such as generic interface, it helps to pick an architectural style. Without direction from TAG or WSArch team about the architectural style for web services, talking about REST or C2 or ABAS etc doesn't make lot of sense, IMO. Sateesh
