Also, overloaded methods are an area where either the server or client software are liable to do a bad job. It's my impression that if you're operating in a tightly controlled environment where you can test the client varieties and server code (and not expect random users to be invoking your service using a whole raft of different client platforms), you might be able to make it work, especially if you have the flexibility to change platforms if it doesn't. Otherwise you're probably inviting trouble. It's strange, because the overload resolution does not seem that difficult; I guess it's just a small part of a pretty substantial hunk of software and likely to fall through the cracks.
