I was thinking more coarse-grained than what you suggest there (so as to avoid lots of network round trips), but that's the basic idea. I'm also hoping that we can define methods to actually *use* the service in some simple way. I have some in mind, but I'll save them for later. 8-) Also, if we keep the number of methods down, it will reduce the burden on developers and so hopefully *all* (new) Web services will choose to support them, in the same way that practically all Web resources support GET despite it not being mandated. BTW, this interface should also include standard faults, for representing common error conditions for all Web services.
