I'm catching up with some mail after my trip to Beijing, and I came across this message to the WS-Addressing WG from Glen Daniels. It was good of Glen to bring this to the collective attention of the description (WSDL) and addressing groups, but reading on reading that message I was amazed at the bureaucracy it takes just to handle a one-way transfer of a SOAP message. It involves at least 3 committees (not including the async task force which until now I was utterly unaware of) and requires the instantiation of a new WSDL MEP!
People: it's time to move on. SSDL is simple; it is extensible by we the people; it is useful. It does not require hundreds of committee hours to be expended nor is adding a new MEP equivalent anything other but simple.
This Kafkan nightmare brought to you courtesy of W3C. Remember kids, WSDL is most definitely now another object IDL.
