Re: [soa-rm] core nature of a Service-Oriented Architecture [was:Security]

Rex, privately, no one has really touched on what SOA is before they 
start decomposing it. I see an approach of building from the ground up. 
But, I've not had time to read all the treatises.  Someone else 
mentioned this to me as well yesterday. Seems like 'can't see the forest 
for the trees.' Thanks.
