They are not being driven at the 'web' layer where 80% of us live, though things such as REST are growing up from the grassroots and things such as WS* are growing down, hopefully they will meet up. the next primary selection characteristics for web services (for the future) would be; - perform software to software integration, underpinning true machine to machine collaboration (e.g. along with commodisation it brings) - application composition enabled using real time service discovery and inspection as for seperation of content and presentation...not sure if perhaps its confusing to use the term presentation where 'interface' would do, along with 'content' where 'data' would....slight differences in semantics though implying that a human is involved in one whereas it is not in the other. cheers, Jim Fuller
