Samuel, I am not sure why you're comparing FDS and web services so closely. They are 2 different technologies meant to do 2 different things. That is, 2 different ways of getting data to your clients.
As for your statement that web services are fully implemented in Flex, that is certainly not the case. I would encourage you to follow the links that Franck, Kaleb and myself posted a few messages ago. Adobe themselves have readily admitted that there are some issues with the existing implementation.
