Not until now.
The standards it uses are interesting, but I don't know enough about
them to know if the benefits outweigh the costs.
The most interesting thing is perhaps OpenSearch... it enables
syndication (wasn't an original goal of Solr, but it's tough to say
what others might be interested in.)
Compared to solr:
- richer in standards support
- it might be a natural fit for indexing blogs given all the atom support?
- not as much functionality
- couples the client much more tightly with the server
- client specifies analyzer to use during a query
- client specifies what fields are indexed, stored, etc.

more intuitive and straightforward.
I'd like to hear if anyone else has perspectives on this...
What are the usecases where one would want to use the Lucene Web
Service API rather than something like Solr or Nutch?
