True, but I think B is much too large relative to C.  The vast majority
of the Web uses uniform interface semantics.

Right, but then the interface is no longer declared with XML (gasp! 8-),
it's declared with HTTP, so "XML Interface Services" isn't an accurate
description of what's going on.  Perhaps that's not such a big deal, but
it could be a point of confusion.  Maybe a footnote would help.
