* Web Services Friendliness
  Document from Alex Ceponkus with possible directions for work to
  make BTP fit better with web services.

  Application definition of the control protocol.
  example: build a control into a Excel spreadsheet

  Bill: Can/should/would this work be done under the current charter
  of the BT TC?  What is the will of the group?

  Alastair, this has come out of implementation experience, has come
  up in deployment at customer sites, and as such does fit under the
  current charter.
  It is a "fix" to our previous understanding of what's required in
  our specifications and XML.

  Tony, Alex, Peter
  SOAP and WSDL evolution has changed the landscape
  Peter, be careful of tying BTP 1.1 to the latest of these specs,
  could delay the 1.1 delivery beyond what's acceptable.
