It is telling that XQuery is now primarily being driven by relational database vendors and WS-* is basically taking on the use cases of DCOM/CORBA/etc for the Enterprise. These may all be the right solutions on the intranet or within the firewall (maybe) but they are too complex for the worse-is-better world that is the Web. 

If such a clean convenient split existed between enterprise systems and 
the Web, we wouldn't need to have this conversation. Aside from the 
usual inter-enterprise scenarios, content management and workflow 
systems come to mind as having a lot of gray to them in terms of 
deployment and data format choices.
