The only figure I need is this one; http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~asignori/web-size/ plus the knowledge that pervasive use of hypermedia is a necessary condition for the Web to have reached that size. And if you're looking for examples or counter-examples, don't bother looking at how individual sites are structured, because that's not what yields a "Web". Instead, look at inter-site integration. >> a constraint which most people coming >> from WS-* land still haven't got a handle on. Go figure. > > Ummm because WS-* isn't a hypermedia approach?

I have no doubt that anybody able to understand the complexity of WS-* has the capacity to understand hypermedia. I just haven't seen many reformed WS-*ers who actually do yet. Mark.
