The recent garbage being posted about "SOAP being dead" is just that; it is garbage. It is agenda pushing in the hope of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. And I'm calling bullshit.
Stating that we should use a distributed computing model that fails to handshake the non-functional concerns is sophomoric. Enterprises require a new level of ubiquity for specifying the quality attributes in distributed systems - it's that simple.
I don't care what Google, Ebay or Yahoo are doing for non-critical SOA enablement. They do what they have to do to get Joe-schmoe on board. Following the e-leaders in a time where WS-* remains in a pre-ubiquitous state is just plain silly.
SOAP isn't dead. Let's all beware of the "Blog Oriented Architectures".
