Agreed. You sell the Web to the business. The you sell WOA/REST to IT as part of the approach for delivering the Web. The beauty of this approach is that the business already knows about the Web, already believes it has game-changing possibilities, etc. The problem with SOA is there is no concrete success story comparable to the Web to point business people to. -- Nick
