My own experience is that UDDI is also premature .... it works, but has
bugs and is not 99.99999% reliable.

Similarly, my experience is that Web services toolsets are not terribly
interoperable -- you can write a WSDL / XSD schema to define a service,
but then spend an enormous amount of time working through the
incompatibilities/poor optimizations of the varous service implementations
