Best of luck, Steve.

If Microsoft’s adoption didn’t seal the deal for you, this should do it; OpenID has won.

“I am a big fan of REST (evangelical even) but I will personally break every single principle of REST to get a job done. The reason I generally don’t is that those principles give me real benefits.”

Great observations from Mark, and a reference to a great 1996 Jon Udell article I hadn’t read before.

“so any application can be accessed the same way, regardless of its implementation technology. Can’t it?” Yes sirree!

An awesome Pete Lacey comment. I wonder how much WS-boilerplate he’s actually responsible for 8-)

“I say that, six or seven years into the Web Services era, the onus is on the WS-* advocates to prove the need, because the advocates of KISS approaches have, I think, amply demonstrated the viability of their approaches.”

“Clearly, each of these uses would benefit from the ability to deploy a common solution that can satisfy both the machine-to-machine and human interaction modes of access to a service through a single URI”. Will it require the uniform interface?

“Your work has contributed to one of the largest volunteer search efforts ever” I can’t help but smile to think that Jim, wherever he is, would get a kick out of how this was done. Kudos to Werner and everyone who contributed.

Cool. This seems (if it were working and I could try it out) to essentially be what my old company, Planetfred, was building 5 years ago. We didn’t have the pretty UI though (nor any UI in fact 8-).
-
“This tension, often described as a battle, was in fact fruitful to both sides”. Indeed. Still one more thing for the WS-* folks to understand though; that REST is an *improvement* on SOA.

“After two years of research, comparative tastings, and evaluation of prototype glasses, Oregon winemakers and Georg Riedel have arrived at a new shape of wine glass designed especially for Oregon Pinot noir.” Insane!

“I, of course, hope to be in the 3rd group – watching from the sidelines from my REST system and shaking my head at the mass delusions this industry is capable of.”

I thought I’d do what little I could to help find Jim Gray by looking through some satellite pictures for Tenacious, Jim’s boat.
Dang, that’s not easy. Here’s a typical image that I was presented;
I did a dozen or so of them, and only a couple were a clear “No” (no ship or ship-debris-like object present). Two or three more were so noisy as to make the job impossible, so I “returned” them. The others involved more time than you’d expect, and a lot of squinting.
A technique that I found useful was to tilt my laptop display backwards which seemed to perform a low-pass filter of sorts, reducing noise and making it easier to identify objects. Maybe that would work for you too. My display is TFT.
It’s a tough job, but I’m happy to help.
Update; the images are a lot clearer today. I’m zipping through them.

“Putting aside the fact that URLs have done this since before XMLRPC existed” Before XML existed even.
