I don't believe in 

"The ultimate goal of Web services, many vendors say, is to let Internet
applications interact with each other the same way humans interact with
them."

That doesn't work.  I believe humans configure these systems to work 
and keep up with what they do.  Again, pay attention to what I am 
saying about not going too deep with this.  Fine-grained processing 
will become hazardous to the health of the business at light speed.

After that, again as I said to Dave, it appears the vendor gets 
to choose between RPC and UDDI/HTTP in the toolkits.  Many of us 
who build applications get to choose among the toolkits.

My sense is that we are miles away from "working good enough" 
if the problem domain is as described here:
