http://blogs.msdn.com/xmlteam/archive/2005/02/15/372982.aspxThe long running PR battle is heating up again between those who advocate the implementation of service architectures [1] "RESTfully" using XML transferred via HTTP, vs those who work with SOAP, WSDL, and the specs built on them known as "WS-*".

I would think it was an example of them not making it a complete pain.http://blogs.msdn.com/xmlteam/archive/2005/02/15/372982.aspx#376370Fri, 18 Feb 2005 23:12:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:376370DannyOne point I'm surprised no-one has yet picked up on is that the interop problems associated with RSS have little to do with REST (or the absence of SOAP). Social factors have played a far greater role than choice of architecture, in particular a major fork and the hyping of one branch as &quot;simple&quot;. The result is that much use of RSS is closer to (tag soup) HTML delivered to a forgiving browser than any standardised format/protocol. Note to that only publication is even remotely RESTful (GET), posting to the server is most commonly done using XML-RPC.http://blogs.msdn.com/xmlteam/archive/2005/02/15/372982.aspx#2408165Fri, 04 May 2007 13:07:40 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:2408165Mike Taulty's Blog<p>Sorry for the title, couldn't resist.
