(not towards REST Mark 🙂

One down, one to go 🙂 The MEST folks (well, the two of us) can be happier today. The REST camp seems happy too.

So, Reference Properties are no more. Hurray!!!

Despite what Mark supports, I think that in the future is all going to be about SOAP and not HTTP. Jim has some comments on this. Granted, HTTP will still be widely used but applications will bind to SOAP and not to HTTP. Scalable and loosely-coupled applications would follow the MEST principles and not REST 🙂 (just being in a happy/funny place now)
