Well put, though I'd be tempted to phrase 1) above as; 1) some defined means of returning object references ala http://www.blogstream.com/pauls/1032521623/index_html > What is the equivelent enabling statement we need to make clear for > web services?

Add the ability to return object references, and you've got your "Web of Web services".
