It depends what you mean. T-SOA for me is something pushed by vendors and those with vested interest in the vendors. It is the thing that says that XML is game changing and that all you need are a bunch of Web Services and BPEL and you are away.
Clearly SOA has to have a sound technical architecture,but that certainly does not require the Web Services/BPEL/XML/REST implementation centric view. A sound Business driven SOA approach can have _exactly_ the same strong technical architecture as the previous set of solutions but have them now delivered more effectively as a result of the different structures, organisation, governance and commercials that delivers them. That certainly isn't BS, its what I'm seeing (and delivering).
