But that's just it; it's closer to what the Web is. And anybody doing business these days will automatically have more to go on by that fact alone than any SOA pandering you'll ever dream up. > (Hint: "simpler than SOA" is not a value proposition that will > resonate with a business guy).

Lots of systems are sold on the basis of being on the web, and interacting with it. "The web" has great value all in and of itself, while SOA needs lots of brochures and presentations to make any sense.
