I got a response from Google about my inquiry to develop to their XML interface. I will be sure to send them a *detailed* proposal. After hell freezes over.  [Scripting News]  

Hey Dave, if you're gonna blur somebodies name out of an email, make sure you get all of it.  Look at the email header.

Dave: "That much money divides you from almost everyone you know. In a sense, that's what money is for, to buy distance. That's why so many rich people are unhappy." Yeah, but it sure is fun to think about :-)  Truthfully, I haven't got a clue what I'd do with that much money.  And no, I did not buy a ticket.

Web Services Pitfalls.  My two cents: Contracts and Billing are definately unexplored areas, work is being done on security and provisioning, and "DLL hell" is why the protocol is based on names and namespaces so while few vendors have grasped this last issue just yet, they will find that the protocol contains the necessary ingredients when they do. [Sam Ruby's Radio Weblog]

Agreed.  Provisioning services are going to be key.  Oasis has already started on it.  A comprehensive security model will get hammered out.  And all it takes to avoid "DLL WSDL hell" is a bit more work on the service developer side of the equation.  While these certainly are pitfalls today, they will get or are getting resolved.
