Ray Ozzie: one of the most fundamental architectural characteristics of the Internet - its "symmetry" at the IP level - has been progressively degrading. NATs, firewalls, DNS limitations and politics, etc. Across a number of protocols, and for good reasons, the core principles of the original Internet are progressively being reproduced at higher and higher levels, e.g. middleware-level or application-level. IP has become XML packet routing, TCP has become distributed transaction state management, DNS has become identity and namespace management, etc. And new value is being added: the packet routing can be secure, the state management can be persistent and durable, the namespace management can be trustworthy.

Tim O'Reilly: any victory for open source achieved through deprivation of the user's right to choose would indeed be a betrayal of the principles that free software and open source have stood for.

Sanjiva: I think that the current language bindings for WSDL are broken... Overall, I think that the distinction between RPC and document is waaaaaay overrated. I definitely agree with the second statement, and am curious as to how you think the language bindings can be improved? To help with this discussion, I've written a small script which generates eight different wsdls and captured the generated client and server code.
