Eric,

your posting 'deserves' a more detailed reply, so sorry for only sending a short comment (I still have a pile of work on my desk for tonight).

It is just hard to believe that the lack of uniform interfaces in SOAP and WSDL is the cause of all the disconnect with the Web.

The lack of a uniform interface (the plural doesn't really make sense here, does it?) is contrary to the architectural style of the Web. That is just an undebatable fact. An architecture that does not employ a uniform interface can never be of the REST style and an architecture that does not specifically constrain itself to HTTP's set of methods on all objects is necessarily disconnected from the Web.

(And, yes, GET /foo/lauchMissile is not HTTP's GET, it is tunneling the launchMissile invocation through GET)
