I've just posted Making Web Services Part of the Web, a set of pretty general suggestions for what I'd consider "Web Services" in a sense that actually takes the Web seriously.

Can't say I expect the Web Services folks to like it, but since I don't like most of what they're doing, that's just fine.

Now that I've emptied my head a bit, maybe I can focus on converting the Tiny API for Markup parser to support my Markup Object Events framework, and write a lot more documentation.
