I wonder if Roy Fielding would agree with your radical dualism. see "In order for SOAP-ng to succeed as a Web protocol, it needs to start behaving like it is part of the Web. That means, among other things, that it should stop trying to encapsulate all sorts of actions under an object-specific interface. It needs to limit its object-specific behavior to those situations in which object-specific behavior is actually desirable. If it does not do so, then it is not using URI as the basis for resource identification, and therefore it is no more part of the Web than SMTP." http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2002Apr/0181.html David Steinberg

  Yes, thanks. I've been the principle supporter of REST principles within the XML Protocol WG. SOAP 1.2 is REST compatible in large part because of my contributions.

  
  Too bad people don't use it that way.
