Web standards: Are we on overload? The title is actually a bit of a misnomer, at least to me. I thought “web standards” as in WebStandards.org, the wackos that think that Netscape 4 disappeared when Netscape 6 was released. But no, this is about web services standards.
It seems reasonable to suppose that without agreement by IBM, Microsoft, Sun, and others on basic protocols like SOAP, Web services would remain just another nifty idea developed in a lab that grows stale before making it out to the real world.”
Well, um, ahem, um, guess we better cancel that whole Blogger XML-RPC thing, since Microsoft isn’t involved and all. I guess projects like PyBlogger are just a waste of time. Whew. Glad I learned that before I wasted any real time in the real world.
Whatever.
