Sounds about right. The disconnect there is due to the fact that the
Web provides a solution for a good chunk of the general
application/application integration problem (which leaves us the
higher level content integration problem to solve), but unfortunately,
Web services proponents don't realize that.
Tim really needed to state that up front, otherwise he comes off
looking like a guy who isn't interested in solving here-and-now
problems, and is only interested in far-off problems we've yet to
encounter as an industry (sound familiar?). And I told him that he
should, after his talk. But he said he didn't want to do that because
it would alienate people from the W3C, and his main objective was
ensuring everybody remained at the same "table". I knew I was in the
for the long haul after that discussion. 8-)
