RE: [xml-dev] Categories of Web Service messages: data-oriented v s action-oriented
That I can agree with.  Action-expected is just another chunk-o-data 
used to test ontological commitment.   It doesn't require a wedding, 
but picking up the check for dinner is nice.  That is probably the 
ultimate expression of loose coupling.

After some reflection I agree that an XML message must contain, along
with the data, an indication of how the sender wants the data acted
upon.  What I do not agree with is that the data and the
action-indication must be inextricably married.
