I don't normally quote Microsoft architects, nor do I often find
InfoWorld that exciting lately, but there's an article there that's
really got me thinking:
http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/04/10/020410hnctohailstorm.xml

Just a few choice bits:
--------------------------
He also encouraged attendees to consider when building Web services 
whether to program to an object-centric or XML-centric model. One
pitfall to look out for in the object-centric path is how to obtain
extensibility when you are programming at a high level, he said....

The primary skill a workforce needs is a deep understanding of XML,
particularly name spaces and versioning.

"The big thing we had to deal with [at Microsoft] was learning and
embracing XML," Lucovsky said. "XML is more difficult than people
think."
---------------------------

It echoes a lot of what we say here, I guess, but it makes some points
that aren't very often heard in the latest wave of Web Services hype.
