Chris, I just noticed something else; > "A web service is a software application or component identified by > a URI, whose interfaces and binding are capable of being described > by standard XML vocabularies and that supports direct interactions > with other software applications or components through the exchange of > information that is expressed in terms of an XML Infoset via > internet-based protocols". Other than the concerns I've already raised about "binding", "direct interaction", and the necessity for a distinction between component and application, I just noticed that "interfaces" is plural. Is there any particular reason for that? I believe it's critical that a Web service have a single interface. Perhaps it's just a terminology issue, but I'd appreciate clarification. Thanks.
