Title: [soa-rm] interesting article - relevant to services and data model aspects of our RM

I found this passage toward the end (3rd par. from 
bottom) perplexing in terms of where he was leading - it follows the discussion 
of using RSS and REST:

"In fact, this low-tech approach is so appealing 
that many people are now discounting the WS-* stack. That’s understandable and 
in many cases valid. While we argue about which WS-* standards will stick to the 
wall, a set of key capabilities is emerging. Broadly speaking, WS-* pushes 
aspects of data communication -- security, asynchrony, reliability, routing, and 
proxying -- up into the application layer where we can reason about these things 
as businesspeople rather than wrestle with them as network plumbers."

The first 3 sentences seem to support the notion 
of using RSS and REST as alternatives to the WS-* stack (I see the basic point, 
but there are aspects, such as security, that I believe he is discounting and 
should not). But then, starting with "Broadly speaking,", he seems to be a fan 
of WS-*.

Does anyone see this differently?
