It might look that way sometimes, but every time I bring this up I delay your work, and it's not in my interest, as somebody who wants to see this work reviewed by the TAG and Director ASAP, to do that. I do it because I believe that intelligent people will respond to reasoned argument, and also because I'm trying to prepare the WG not to be too surprised when the TAG and/or Director reject its work (or failing that, when Web services *continue* to fail to be deployed in any significant way on the Internet). Still, I think most of this discussion was good since it was directly addressing issues, in particular 1, 5, and 21; http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/arch/2/issues/wsa-issues.html#x1 http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/arch/2/issues/wsa-issues.html#x5 http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/arch/2/issues/wsa-issues.html#x21 I'll continue the "binding" discussion with Miles because I do agree with him that it's a key issue. It directly addresses issue one, and indirectly addresses the other two. MB -- Mark Baker.
