Or have they? No, but the challenges of dealing with the overwhelming complexity of the XML family of specs, only a subset/profile of which do Web service developers and users any good, is definitely a topic of discussion in the Web Services Architecture WG. (Our last F2F had a couple of hours of discussion that reminded me of dear old sml-dev <grin>). It's not so much that the SOAP community is pushing for a new version of XML, but that it pushed back on requests to make the entire set of XML legal in SOAP messages. This obviously leaves us all in an uneasy situation -- only a SOAP-aware processor can "validate" that an XML document that conforms to the SOAP schemas is actually legal SOAP. Again, this is a VERY VERY WELL AIRED issue on xml-dist-app, and very nicely summarized on www-tag in a recent post by Noah Mendelsohn. Actually, as I interpret recent TAG discussions, they have taken the initiative and acknowledged the profiles/subsetting issue as something that the W3C has to address. I believe the XML Core WG has the ball at this point, but this is a bit up in the air at this time AFAIK.
