Today a group of companies submitted WS-Transfer, WS-Eventing, and WS-Enumeration @ W3C. This is great for the Web Services community.
Expect more good news in this space shortly.

Savas, you forgot to mention the roadmap (that makes use of these specs) published today by HP, IBM, Intel and Microsoft (or is this the “more good news” you are referring to?): http://h20325.www2.hp.com/blogs/vambenepe/archive/2006/03/14/815.html
Indeed, that was the “more good news” but i didn’t realize it was already published by HP. I am preparing a separate post for that.
“great”?!?! It (WS-Transfer) brings Web services up to date with the Web, circa 1991 (minus a bunch of features).
And WS-Enumeration brings Web services up to date with the Web circa 1995 (or thereabouts) with its support of ranges in HTTP/1.1. And it uses “Pull” instead of WS-Transfer’s “Get”. Huh? There’s not even any architectural consistency between these co-submitted specs. Excuse my language, but this stuff is complete and utter crap.
And this is “good news” for precisely what reason? I know you work for the Dark Side these days, but I’m surprised you see something like WS-Transfer (and especially WS-ResourceTransfer) as anything good for Web Services! You’ve taken the blue pill!
I agree with Mark Baker: this stuff is complete and utter crap.
I thought the HP/IBM/MS paper was hilarious! Not sure why MS were on it, but in terms of HP and IBM they must be full from eating humble pie by now! I am kind of surprised MS went to W3C though, given how much they’ve railed over the IP policy there in the past.
