Re: "Web service" or "web service"

I also believe that "Web service" is the right way .. 

I don't think there was an overwhelming consensus on any particular
capitalization. IMHO "Web service" has a defendeable rationale ;-).

So, given the lack of any strong direction (if I misread the "votes"
please say so) can I have editorial priviledge to use "Web service"
please? Jonathan?

Sanjiva.
