" 'specifications are getting implemented before they are even written'... or at least before they are completed. which is congruent with how things should be, imo. the problem with web services is the hype, which is what is pushing half-baked implementations of half-finished specs out of the doors of otherwise respectable companies, who are trying to sell them as production ready tools to a market that hasn't made up it's mind about what it wants yet. cheers, /m On Tue, 19 Nov 2002, Andrzej Jan Taramina wrote: > > Web Services come to mind as an example of this process in effect. >
