ws-reliability continues to be harmful.
Agreed. While there is much to be learned from the Way of REST, certain RESTians continue to be heavy-handed, polemic, and surprising narrow (given their high intelligence level) in their arguments. Web services, despite the perhaps unfortunate name, have applications way beyond the limitations of the web's dominant transport.

ws-reliability continues to be harmful.
I was surprised to read Mark Baker's statement that he feels there is no need for reliable communication provisions in web-services runtimes.
I think "reliable messaging" is a huge waste of time. [Mark Baker]
I have always respected Mark's opinion, even though I am not much of a REST fanatic myself. In this case however I think that Mark is so caught up in the Web part of the web-services world that he fails to see that the ws-* specs are basically geared towards a world that is transport independent. And as such you cannot build your systems around the get/put/post semantics as you may run over transports other than HTTP.
