regarding UDDI, but that is
indeed something to think about ...

Web services seem to promote more on "application
integration" in lieu of "information integration" (see
http://xmlhack.com/read.php?item=1457).  While XML's
advantage is to provide a sharable data format lest
vendor lockin, application vendors seem to promote web
services in order to get us (the IT consumer) back
under their controls of the web.  I personally do not
see a good business case for the "discovery" features
of UDDI and WSDL at where I belong.
