Dave Winer: Speaking of SOAP, and WSDL, here's something to think about. Look at the Blogger API. No IDL. How did it work? It's very broadly deployed and quite useful. It's gotten a lot of Web people excited about XML-RPC. No one has ever, as far as I know, asked for an IDL. Why?
Probably the same reason the Axis link to the left was added using vim. We are not our target audience.
BTW, it may be foolish of me to think that Web Services are for Web People, but well, I do
Dave, I guess your target audience is people like myself and Jon Udell who "have for years been in the game of dynamically generating statically-served sites". What about the hordes of unwashed masses who aren't so inclined and seem to prefer Integrated Development Environments ( IDEs)? Wouldn't the world be a better place if there was some widely adopted way to describe the messages in some structured way ameanable to consumption by such tools?
