I don't get the gist of SOA, even after having read some of the online
material on it.  I guess what I'm missing is some critical distinctions
from other forms of goodness in distributed computing.  Since the above
proposed text makes heavy use of "SOA", and claims that it is
regularly described in literature, I'd like to propose that a small number
of
high quality references be included in the text.  Google turns up almost
6,000
results for "Service Oriented Architecture".

Does the architecture document already contain such references?
Sorry if I missed them.

Thanks,

Walden
