I'd be all for removing any mention of SOAs, if only because I can't think of a distributed system which isn't about services. Email, ftp, irc, the Web; all are SOAs. Besides, we'd have to define it, and we know how icky getting concensus on definitions can be. 8-/ MB -- Mark Baker, CTO, Idokorro Mobile.
